Which country shares a concern about the Golan Heights with Israel?

However, as a result of the Six Day War of 1967, the Golan Heights fell under legal Israeli occupation (pursuant to UNSC Resolution 242) until such time as Israel and Syria could come to a peace agreement. In 1981, Israel illegally annexed the Golan Heights to its Northern Province.
