A senior Syrian opposition member has offered to forgo his country’s claims to the Golan Heights in return for an Israel-enforced no-fly zone over southern Syria Kamal Al-Labwani, a veteran Syrian dissident and founding member of the Syrian National Council, told the London-based daily Al-Arab last week that Syria has effectively lost the Golan Heights to Israel, and now faces the choice of using its claim over the territory to topple the Assad regime or waiting 10 more years until all of Syria is lost to Assad. “As long as we Syrians continue to believe in annihilating Israel and Israelis, it is only natural for Israel to continue supporting Assad who has not lifted a finger against it,” Labwani told the paper. “We will sign peace with the Israelis at the end. Why deny it?” “Why should we not sell the Golan issue through negotiations rather than lose it to Assad and lose Syria along with it?” he added. timesofisrael/syrian-dissident-offer-golan-heights-if-israel-removes-assad
