Answer:

A.  Israel gained control of land that had belonged to Jordan and Syria.

Explanation:

  • Israel took over the Golan Plateau from Syria in 1967 after a six-day war, during which most Syrians fled the area. A ceasefire line has been established and the entire region is now under Israeli military control, and Israelis have since populated the area.
  • Syria tried to reclaim the territory in 1973, but their advance was halted, after which a ceasefire was signed the following year.
  • UN observers have been on the ceasefire line ever since. Unilaterally, Israel appropriated the Golan Plateau in 1981, a move that was not recognized by many countries in the world.
