This paper reviews ecological peacebuilding between Syria and Israel and the hydrological roots of war in the region. Hydropolitics at discourse level are reflected in rural Syrian communities living near disputed national borders between Syria and Israel. The paper reflects on the feasibility of sustainable transboundary water management. It discusses a scenario of cooperation and its potential impact on Syrian and Israeli water resources. An analytical framework of ecological peacebuilding, human ecosystem approaches, political ecology and resource management is critically assessed against the research results presented in this paper concerning the case study of the Occupied Syrian Golan Heights.
