Israel gained control of the Golan Heights from Syria during the Six-Day War in June 1967. The area was placed under Israeli military administration and later annexed by Israel in 1981. The annexation is not recognized internationally, however, except by the United States and Colombia (which recognized Israeli sovereignty over the area in 2019 and 2026, respectively).
