Israeli premier holds on to Syria's Golan Heights
By: Ahmed Hammadi
HELD JERUSALEM: Ehud Olmert, Israeli Prime Minister, called
the occupied Golan Heights an integral part of Israel and said
he would never hand it back to Syria.
Israeli newspapers on Tuesday quoted Olmert as saying: "As
long as I serve as prime minister the Golan Heights will
remain in our hands because it is an integral part of the
state of Israel."
Israel captured the strategic plateau in the 1967 Six Day War
and unilaterally annexed it in 1981.
Damascus has repeatedly demanded the return of the Golan
Heights, and peace talks between Israel and Syria have stalled
since January 2000 when both sides failed to reach agreement
on the territory.

"Knowledge is
better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
