(Jewish Policy Center) Shoshana Bryen - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made a public declaration of Israel's interest in having the U.S. recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Why now? There is no "peace process" - certainly none that involves Syria - and little push in international circles to force Israel to cede the territory to the war criminal Bashar Assad. Some believe Israel is required to give up the Golan because countries cannot acquire territory by force. That is incorrect. UN Resolution 242 says, "Emphasizing the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war." War, not force. It was the Arab states that went to war in 1967; Israel acquired the territory in self-defense. How long is Israel required to wait? It has been almost 52 years since Syria lost the Golan Heights as a result of its aggression. It is 45 years since Israel repulsed the aggression of the Yom Kippur War. The writer is senior director at the center. 2019-03-22 00:00:00Full Article
