By GO Sedan JERUSALEM (JTA)Dovee and hairics, toft^ wingers and rij^tt-wingers, Laboritea and IJkudnfta are united on one issue: The Golan H«ghto are part of larael and should remain so. The territory, iriiich Israel won from Syria in 1967 and effectiv^ annexed Iqr extending Israeli law there in 1980, is home to about 11,000 Jewa in 32 towns and asttkaaota. Its future rtatua inevitably win come up if peaoa talks with Syria mataiisdize, as now seems more likely than ever befors. And the negotiators are sure to diacuaa the Golan Heigfata before they broach the more enptioaally charged iasue of the tfauu status of the Weet Bank and Oaaa Strip. But rsgardtoss of their ideology or pcfitical affiliation, the majority of Israelia rank the Qolan Heigfata aacood onlb^ to Jerusalem aa the territory they wouU never bargain away, even if aaaured of peace in return. That to the natiooal ooosensua Golan reeidento count on when they weigh their future in light of Syria's unexpected sgreement last week to attend a U.S.-<»dieatrated peace conference with Israel.
