Israel approves plan to expand communities in the Golan Heights

The decision, which was approved unanimously, came just days after the fall of the Assad regime and the IDF retaking the Syrian Hermon.

Israel’s government approved a plan on Sunday to expand Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights, saying it had acted “in light of the war and the new front facing Syria” and out of a desire to double the Israeli population on the Golan.

      This is still just within the current borders (since ‘67), not the new occupation (…yet?)

        Sure, but it’s still in internationally recognized Syrian territory and an excuse to extend their “security buffer” which they will forever extend and settle in. It’s not like they make a secret of this shit.
