I’m glad they are emphasising how lovely the golan is. I visited there twice in the last 2 years and it’s my favorite place in Israel after Jerusalem. And Gamla is a major Jewish historical site as well as a nature preserve for raptors, I can’t see that in the hands of anyone but Jews.

The residents are not going anywhere. As someone pointed out, this would have to be put to a referendum, and just like dividing Jerusalem, if a deal was made secretly and then revealed the least that would happen is the government would finally fall.

Anyway, Syria reneges on every “deal” it makes.
