Syria wants Galilee access

A Syrian draft document delineating the borders of the Golan Heights would put Syria on the banks of the Sea of Galilee. Syria is waiting for Israel's response through Turkish mediators to a document defining the boundaries of the Golan Heights for the purpose of peace talks, Reuters reported, citing sources familiar with the negotiations. The boundaries, to identify what Syria says is occupied territory, uses six geographical points for reference, according to Reuters. The most significant point is the northeastern border of the Sea of Galilee, also called Lake Kinneret, which is Israel's main water source. (JTA)
