Does Israel have a peace treaty with Egypt?
NO. Syria and Israel had been negotiating prior to the Arab Spring of 2011 to have a peace treaty. The particular thorn in the negotiations was not really the Golan Heights, as Israel was willing to concede that, but the 5 square kilometer area that was part of the British Mandate of Palestine in 1947 and was Syrian-Occupied in 1949. This small piece of land gave Syria direct access to the Sea of Galilee, something Israel wants to prevent Syria from accessing.

Nothing. The Golan Heights was an undisputed Syrian territory until 1967. Israel was created in 1948. The Golan Heights became part of the Arab-Israeli Conflict in 1967 when Israeli soldiers occupied the area while fighting Syria.

Israel became an independent state on May 14, 1948 with Jerusalem as its capital. The following day Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan declared war on Israel. Despite being heavily outnumbered and outgunned, Israel won the war in 1949. Jordan occupied east Jerusalem until 1967 when the city was reunified, and expelled all Jews, banning them from visiting Jewish holy sites. Jordan also occupied Judea and Samaria, Egypt occupied the Gaza Strip and Syria occupied the Golan Heights from 1949 - 1967.

The disputed territory is a de jure Syrian territory under de facto Israeli Occupation and Civil Administration: the Golan Heights.

This territory is small, but strategic, giving Israel a position where Syria cannot take military advantage of it. Currently, UNDOF monitors the border between the Golan Heights and Syria.
