None
Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz toured the Golan Heights on Tuesday and called for a referendum bill on withdrawal from the area. "The people should decide on the Golan issue," he said.
The minister further added, "The Golan has an historical connection to the Jewish people and security-related importance to the State. Syrian President Bashar Assad should look out his window every morning and see the Golan Heights in the height of its bloom, because we shall stay here forever." (Hagai Einav)
