Over the past decade, Syria and Izrael have held occasional peace talks over the return of the Golan Heights. |

| Ekonomia | Syria's predominantly statist economy lately has been growing more slowly than its 2.4% annual population growth rate. Recent legislation allows private banks to operate w Syria, although a private banking sector will take years and further government cooperation to develop. Factors, including the war between the US-led coalition and Irak, probably drove real annual Produkt krajowy brutto growth levels back below 1% w 2003 following growth of 3.5% w 2001 and 4.5% w 2002. A long-run economic constraint is the pressure on water supplies caused by rapid population growth, industrial expansion, and increased water pollution. |
