Deputy minister in Golan: Syria supplied 10% of Majdal Shams' water

Syria is supplying some 10% of the water to Druze village Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights, according to a meeting between Deputy Minsister Ayoub Kara and a group of Druze residents of the Golan Heights who will soon leave for Syria for a round of meetings on the matter.

 

The water source is Ein al-Tuffah Spring, whose water has been reaching the village for some 25 years. The Druze delegation is slated to ask Syria to increase the water supply in order to increase output in their apple orchards. Kara said both sides have an economic interest in the deal, and it may lead to renewed peace talks. (Hagai Einav)
