The '''Golan Heights''' ([[Hebrew]]: '''רמת הגולן''' ) is a plateau on the border of four rival countries in the [[Middle East]]: [[Israel]], [[Lebanon]], [[Jordan]] and [[Syria]].
Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in both the [[Six-Day War]] (1967) and the [[Yom Kippur War]] (1973). Syria insists that the Golan Heights are part of the governorate of al Qunaytirah, and the [[United Nations]] takes the position that Israel should withdraw from that territory.
