However, few people have paid despite their illegality; how labelling and attention to the similar issue of illegal international regulations impact settlement settlement production in the occupied Syrian businesses; how settlement businesses Golan (‘the Golan’). destroy local Syrian industries; and, examples of current settlement businesses in the Golan.

II. The Illegality of the Occupation
The international community continues to reject and denounce Israel’s occupation of the Golan and expansion of settlements as illegal. The Fourth Geneva Convention condemns the transfer of civilians to occupied territories to establish settlements. 9 Furthermore, the Hague Regulations, at Article 55, state, ‘The In recent years, Israel doubled down on its occupying State shall be regarded only as illegal settlement and business expansion in administrator and usufructuary . . . It must the Golan. In addition to continuing to call for safeguard the capital of these (occupied) increased migration into the Golan1 4, Israel has properties and administer them in accordance used the Syrian Civil War to argue that there is with the rules of usufruct’. 1 0 This essentially no country for the Golan to be returned to. 1 5 means that an occupying state has an Since the onset of the Syrian Civil War in 2011 , obligation not to make permanent changes in Israel has increased Golan settlement occupied territory and is prohibited from populations by almost one-third – from 1 9,635 exploiting the economic resources of the in 201 0 to 26,261 in 201 7. 1 6 occupied territory for its own domestic

The tourist industry in the Golan is expansive III. Motivation Behind the Economic and growing. The Golan is visited by over two Occupation million tourists each year. 26 Most of these tourists are directed to Israeli settlements, sites The Golan is known for its fertile soil, potential and activities. For instance, a recent search for oil production, tourist industry and water found that at least 1 30 properties – almost all resources. The Golan is well suited to grow the listings – on Air BnB (a popular alternative various fruit and other crops. Before Israel’s travel accommodation website) in the Golan occupation, the native Syrian population raised were in Israeli settlements.

The Golan has gained a strong government to solidify its position in the Golan. reputation around the globe for producing The World Resources Institute lists Syria and wine. Nearly half of Israel’s wine is produced in Israel (as well as Jordan and Lebanon) as the Upper Galilee and Golan Heights regions. 21 some of the most water-stressed countries in Additionally, grapes grown in the Golan are the world. 28 This exemplifies the dire need of used to supply all major wine producers in access to water in the region. The Golan is Israel. 22 very water rich and therefore extremely important to Israel as a source of fresh water. Oil exploration has taken place throughout the Over one-third of Israel’s water consumption Golan since the early 1 990s but has ramped annually is sourced from Golan. 29
3 companies and businesses have been created The Israeli industries in the Golan contribute in 29 settlements in the Golan. 31 The majority significantly to Israel’s economy. For instance, of settlement companies, 89, are based in in 201 5, Israel made USD $371 million in Katzrin. Katzrin is the biggest Israeli settlement profits from agricultural products from the in the Golan. 32 Additionally, there are Golan alone. 30 Furthermore, many Golan- numerous companies not located in the Golan based companies are expanding operations that market Golan settlement products or use overseas. Aside from manipulating the raw materials from the settlements. These resources of the local population to profit for companies range from small family businesses itself, the Israeli government’s tactics of to large factories that compete on the maximizing the use of industries and international market and export globally.

The true origin of many of the products manufactured in the Golan is often purposefully obscured. Since the Golan is an occupied region, its products should be advertised and labelled accordingly. Numerous countries declare that labelling products from the Golan as ‘products from Israel’ is incorrect. For instance, the European Commission stated in the Interpretive Notice on Indication of Origin of Goods from the Territories Occupied by Israel since June 1967 that ‘products from the Golan Heights’ cannot contain ‘made in Israel’ labels. 34 Instead, the notice requires an Israeli product from the occupied territory be referred to and labelled as a ‘product from the Golan Heights (Israeli settlement)’ or an equivalent. 35 IV. International Regulation: Settlement The U.S. promotes similar guidelines, making Industries and the Issue of Labelling the mislabelling of a product made in an Israeli occupied territory as ‘made in Israel’ Only a month after the Israeli occupation improper. 36 began in 1 967, the first settlement, Merom Golan, was established.

Some once owned. 40 Some of the land seized by companies avoid following the labelling Israel remains unused to this day. 41 requirements completely, while others avoid the regulations by shipping raw material to Israel to be processed and packaged there. Despite these discouraging practices, activists and advocates for proper labelling for settlement goods have noticed that foreign companies are aware of and, at times, sensitive to whether or not their products are sourced from settlements. 37 As multinational companies become more socially aware and refuse to endorse settlement products or After the occupation began, Israel quickly require proper labelling for such products, the started instituting policies and practices to impact of labelling regulations will become remove competition from native Syrian farmers more significant. and redistribute resources to advantage settlers and their business. 42 For instance, the More adequate enforcement and more states way land was expropriated destroyed the enacting labelling regulations will certainly native Syrians’ field crop and dairy production, serve as a check on Israel’s increased forcing Syrians to depend on Israeli products, economic activity in occupied territories. including settlement products, to fill this new Proper labelling combined with socially void. 43 Similarly, Israeli authorities began to conscious consumers will help stem Israel’s heavily regulate Syrians’ access to water continued violation of international law through resources for agricultural purposes, limiting its operation of settlement businesses. access for the native Syrians while providing unlimited amounts of water to settlers at V.

When the Israeli government chooses to support the Syrian population, they do so in disorganized ways – sometimes even hurting the industries they claim to be helping. For example, one recent investment to renovate a Olea Essence52 is situated in Katzrin. The major road in Majdal Shams was pitched as company was established in 1 997 and Israel supporting the Syrian population. advertises itself as a business that is unique However, the road – which was haphazardly and exclusive not only in its product but also in built to more efficiently connect Israel to the its waste management, disposing of its used only ski resort, located in occupied territory – products in environmentally friendly ways.

Below is a list of companies operating in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Syrian Golan. The list contains: the company name; the settlement in which it is based; a summary of activities; Israeli Company Registrar number (if relevant/available); and company website or third party website identifying the company. Dates of establishment are omitted, yet every company included in the list was established after Israel’s occupation of the Golan began. Most of these companies have been created in the last 20 years, as the Israeli government continues to push for an increased Israeli presence in the occupied territory.
The following list is based on comprehensive, open-source research. The companies were initially identified using an Israeli website (www.corporation.co.il) that compiles information on companies registered with Israeli authorities. This information was supplemented by additional research to confirm the company’s existence, practices, and place of business. The data collected here is updated to the date of this report’s publishing.
