Knesset Ratifies Golan Heights Law

December 14th, 1981 43 years ago

The Israeli Knesset passed the Golan Heights Law, asserting Israeli sovereignty over this strategically important territory. The decision made the Golan Heights an official part of Israel, extending Israeli civil law and administration to the region. This act was met with widespread international condemnation, as the Golan Heights had been captured from Syria during the 1967 Six-Day War. The law aimed to solidify Israel's hold over the area amidst regional tensions.
