Syrian officials reiterated their threat to forcefully take the Golan Heights from Israel unless an agreement between the two countries is reached soon.
During a ceremony Saturday inaugurating a new communications center in Kuneitra, the Syrian town closest to the border with Israel, the Syrian Committee for the Liberation of the Golan threatened to take practical measures to return the Golan to Syrian control, adding that Israel was not showing any willingness to negotiate the return of the territory in peace talks.
Syrian President Bashar Assad was also present at the ceremony.
Syrian Information Minister Mohsen Bilal said that the new center would "report the despair of Syrian residents living in the occupied Golan, under the rule of the barbaric and racist state of Israel."
Bilal was most likely referring to Druse residents of the Golan, some of whom have stated their preference for living under Syrian rule.

‘Papoulias said Greece would be Syria’s “gate to the European Union.”’
For what, invasion?
The Syrians’ chance of recapturing the Golan? Zero.

In the Arab tradition, they’re all sound and fury when dealing with a stronger and smarter opponent.
Has Obama demanded Israel’s unconditional surrender yet?
three words:
“Burden of Damascus...”
Well, what a surprise! The Boy King is gonna get kicked around by his new best buddies.
I’d think this was funny if it weren’t so dangerous for us all.
Israel should fight for the Golan
NEVER give it (or anything else) back to Syria
It belonged to Israel long before it was claimed by any Syrians . Screw them
Were Syria to get froggy and jump,
Israel will beat Syria down like the rabid dogs deserve.
If Israel concedes the Golan, Israel will cease to exist.
