I disagree with that is primarily USA policy. WIth no disrespect to Americans, a life time of experience know next to nothing outside of the United States.

Israel wants the whole Golan Heights because their fanatics belive it is promised then by God. But the real reaosn is to detroy a Irans back door to Israel and to destroy a ally of Iran.
