Importance of The Occupied Golan to Transportation and Routes The Golan district has always been an important route of the transportation through out old and modern ages, of history. It connects important populated communities that make up what is regionally known as the Cham countries (Syria, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon). It is also a natural route between two important Arab capitals, one in Asia, Damascus, and the other in Africa, Cairo. This contributed to the rise of the Golan's capital "AL-Qunaitra" as the most important crossroad on the way to Damascus, Al-Quds (Jerusalem) & Cairo, throughout different stages in history. Golan is also the most easiest passby among different areas in Syria and the Lebanese coast. Geography of The Occupied Golan Main Page

Syria joined with Egypt in the United Arab Republic in 1958, but withdrew in 1961. Independent Syria has been characterized by economic growth, political instability, and hostility toward Israel. In 1981 Israel exacerbated the situation by annexing the Golan Heights, captured from Syria in the Six-Day War (1967). After Assad died suddenly in June 2000, his son, Bashar al-Assad, who had been groomed to succeed his father since 1994, became president. The son was regarded as an advocate of a free-market economy and political change, but movement toward both has proceeded slowly and has at times been reversed or hindered. Syria strongly opposed the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq and was accused by U.S. government officials of supplying aid to Iraq and helping Iraqi officials to escape from U.S. forces. A new cabinet with a mandate to push reforms forward was appointed in Sept., 2003. In October, Israel struck at what it called a terrorist training base in Syria in retaliation for suicide-bombing attacks in Israel; it was the first Israeli strike against Syrian territory in 20 years. Simmering grievances among the nation’s Kurds erupted into rare antigovernment protests in NE Syria in Mar., 2004. In August and September Syria blatantly forced Lebanon to extend President Lahoud’s term, an act that was denounced by the UN Security Council.

Geography: The Syrian Arab Republic is located in the Middle East at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea. It is bordered by Turkey to the north, Iraq to the east and south-east, Jordan to the south, and Lebanon to the south-east. The capital of Syria is Damascus; other large cities are Aleppo, Lattakia, Homs, and Deir Ez-Zor. Syria covers an area more than 185,000 square kilometers; its terrain, climate and vegetation are diverse. Mountains dominate the western and south-western regions and separate the narrow coastal plain form the interior. The highest mountain range straddles the boundary with Lebanon and is high enough to get heavy snow in winter; most of the remainder of Syria to the east of these mountains is a plateau. The coastal plain has warm, humid summers and mild, wet winters and gets enough rain for crops to be grown without irrigation. The interior, by contrast, has cold winters, especially in the north, and extremely hot summers, particularly in the east. Much of the interior is desert, or semi-desert. The two major rivers, the Euphrates and Orients, originate in Turkey and Lebanon.
