RE: U.S. Gives Thumbs Up for Israel to Keep Occupying Syria's Golan Heights
I don’t want to wipe anybody out, I want other nations to stop oppressing one other nations and killing their people. Nations can border each other and not kill each other. Israel wants the Golan for its gas reserves which are apparently very large.
There is no gas on the Golan. Israel’s huge gas reserves are in the Mediterranean Sea.

A quick internet search comes up otherwise;

Just search golan heights gas reserves and/or oil.
That was a couple years ago, I’ve read it several places.
Nothing came of it. The company concerned (Genie)is now drilling for water! on the Golan. https://genie.com/media/press-releases/#
Israel's sea based gas finds are already in production and dwarf anything on the Golan. It is irrelevant. Israel's interest in the Golan Heights is because its strategic high ground. Before 1967 Syrian artillery regularly shelled Israeli farmers from the Golan.
Ah I didn't know they switched gears to drill for water. Thanks for that info.
