    Michael Oren says it is time for the world to recognize the Golan Heights as part of Israel.

    In contrast to negotiations with the Palestinians, there is no Syria to negotiate with, Deputy Minister for Diplomacy in the Prime Minister’s Office Oren said on Tuesday.

    “Without Israel there [in the Golan], the region would be jeopardized. ISIS would be on the Kinneret,” he said, adding that other states in the region are glad Israel is on the Golan. This is one of several important outcomes of the 1967 war still felt today.

    Israel annexed the Golan in 1981 in a decision that was never recognized internationally.
