1- Its not a policy based on religious ideology, as is the case re: the W Bank. So, very unlikely that we will see settlements. 
 2- There is genuine bipartisan concern in #Israel regarding the Jihadi background of the current ruling gov in #Syria. Israel forces in Syrian side of the Golan are there to prevent them/other Jihadi groups from getting close to Israel.
