what payment ? I haven't seen any mention of any payment to anyone.
Or is it because it is the {{{juice}}} that you think money is involved ?
This reminds me of a discussion that occurred during a dinner at a friend's house years ago.
There were two Pakistani diplomats present with whom I was having a polite conversation, and, to keep the conversation flowing, I asked if Pakistan could have normal relations with India if India decided to give the whole of Kashmir to Pakistan.
They became quite angry and aggressive and said, in a not so polite or subdued tone, that India cannot give back what it did not possess in the first place.
Listen, if Israel proposed to give the Golan back to Syria in order to have peace with that country, there is no need to look for anything else. As it happened, Syria refused and that was that, and since then the Israelis enjoy Israeli Golan wine and can go skiing there in the winter.
