Replicating its occupation of Jerusalem, Israel aims to create a Jewish majority with illegal settlements in occupied Golan Heights.
While Israel’s recent attacks on Gaza and illegal evictions of Palestinians in East Jerusalem were under the media spotlight, there is another territory that Israel has occupied illegally and it has been away from the media glare for several decades.
This is despite the fact that Golan Heights is also home to some 25,000 Syrian Druze Arabs, who have rejected Israeli citizenship before with the hope that one day the region will be reincorporated into Syria. Local leaders representing the settlements hope that with the recognition of Israeli sovereignty, the area would attract investment as well as new settlers.
