The Golan Heights are counted as part of Israel by the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), which is why they are considered part of the Northern District in administrative matters. The United Nations does not recognize this, as the prerequisite for recognition would be Syria's consent to the Israeli annexation of the Golan Heights.
