The Golan Heights dispute is between which two nations?

• A. Syria-Israel
• B. Syria-Jordan
• C. Syria-Egypt
• D. Jordan-Israel

Answer: (A)

Sovereignty over the Golan Heights on the Syria–Israel border is what this dispute centers on. The Golan Heights is a high plateau that Israel captured from Syria during the 1967 Six-Day War, and it was later effectively annexed by Israel, though most of the world still views it as Syrian territory occupied by Israel. Because the heart of the issue is which nation has rightful control over this land, the dispute is specifically between Syria and Israel. The other pairings involve countries not tied to the main territorial question around the Golan Heights.
