Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Monday that he will not negotiate with Syria on the return of the Golan Heights, a lawmaker said.
"I don't intend to enter negotiations with Syria because I don't want to withdraw from the Golan Heights," Sharon told parliament's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, according to Yuval Steinitz head of the committee.
In past talks, Syria demanded the return of the territory, which Israel captured in 1967 and later annexed.
Israeli lawmakers were discussing a U.N. commission's efforts to question senior Syrian officials in connection with the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
Israel should not extend its hand to Syria when the nation's leaders are isolated internationally, said Steinitz.
