Overview
A classic case study of territorial disputes, international law, UN peacekeeping, and the role of international recognition in shaping geopolitical realities.
The Golan Heights is a strategically important plateau in the Levant region, historically part of Syria. It was captured by Israel during the 1967 Six-Day War and subsequently annexed in 1981, a move largely unrecognized by the international community, making it a central point of contention in the Arab-Israeli conflict.
