In response to Israeli forces’ incursion into the Golan Heights buffer zone, France has called for Israel to withdraw from this area, which has been a point of contention since the annexation of Golan by Israel. With the fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad affecting the region’s stability, locals, predominantly Druze and Arab residents, express concerns over their future and reject the occupation, asserting their Syrian identity. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims the annexed Golan will remain Israeli indefinitely, while stressing the military presence in the buffer zone is temporary.
