Golan is a non starter.

The 'aid' that they need it debt forgiveness to the Iranians, the Russians and the German banks. I highly HIGHLY doubt Obama will get Congress to them our money for that purpose.

Water is a regional problem that can't be solved by any single country. Either they get on board with Israel or there is no point. They won't get on board with Israel because water is power for them.

Israel will eventually have to give the Golan to Syria if there's going to be any sort of a deal. Now, obviously that would mean that the Golan would need to be demilitarized. As for water they also want Golan for it, and that means then that there will have to be a water deal regarding access to the Kinneret. Now, I don't know if Israel has any way of replacing the Kinneret? I mean, even if there's no peace with Syria (and no access to the water for them), we all know that the Kinneret is losing its water every year - it won't be a source of water forever, so I'd expect Israel to have alternatives for it, right? Well when Israel can stop depending on the Kinneret, I think they should seek peace with Syria.

And as far as aid is concerned, I doubt Syria/Assad will reject a couple of billions anually.
