Israel's search for energy independence has led oil companies to the Golan Heights, a place that is considered Syrian territory by the United Nations.

The Israeli economy is thriving making it one of the countries with the highest standards of living around the world. Can the oil companies beat environmentalists and potentially hurt the natural landscape that consists of the Golan Heights in order to stimulate the Israeli economy?
