The U.S. and Israel invited Syria to join them at the Annapolis peace conference, but only if Syria promises not to bring up the issue of the Golan Heights.
The response from Syria was unequivocal-no, thanks.
Deputy Prime Minister Abdullah Dardari told the AP that “For Syria to attend any such meeting requires that the Golan Heights issue is clearly on the agenda.”
Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in the Six-Day War of 1967. The two countries continue to be officially at war.
