Syria: Conflict and Resolution

The Golan Heights was part of Syria until the Israeli six day war in 1967 which also resulted in the retrieval of Gaza from Egypt; and Samaria, which had been renamed the west bank by Jordan. There are aproximately 40,000 inhabitants in Golan, 20,000 being Israeli colonists. There are four remaiming Druze villages in Golan. The Druze being a minority in Syria.
Golan Heights is a fertile area bordered by the Yarmouk River in the south and the Sea of Galilee, a lake in Israel, to the west. Golan provides 15% of Israel’s water. The Israel-Lebanon war of 2006 was about water according to news and is thought to be a cause of continuing conflict with Iran.
The conflict in Syria is said to be ongoing. The current population of Syria is around 18 million and there are reported to be between 5 and 6 million Syrian refugees, mainly in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Germany and other European nations. Figures are part of u.n. statistics and predictions which may form a basis for eu quotas. Some feel refugee quotas interfere with sovereignty; and sending some means of aid or support to the country in crisis is a more holistic way of addressing the problem.
Historically, people from other nations have been moved around and displaced by various empires. This is political and is a means of assimilating a particular group into a new bureaucracy.
Supporters of the Syrian government have been Russia and Iran. Saudi Arabia back the rebels along with the UK, France and other western countries. About six million people are reported to be displaced inside Syria. A lack of protein and clean water being the reason. This is estimated to compel President Bashar al Assad to comply to terms which may not concede to the rights to proprietorship of national assets and to sovereignty. If Europe is to be believed it must intervene on the basis of fundamental civil rights.
