The Golan Heights, by international law, are part of Syria. Much of the region has been annexed by Israel, a move only recognised by the United States. Some of the Golan Heights streams cross into internationally recognised Israeli territory, while some don't. For the sake of a comprehensive hydrological overview, the Golan tributaries of the Jordan River via the lake are tentatively listed here for now.

Five streams - the Jordan plus four more - run through the Bethsaida Valley (Batikha or Buteikha in Arabic), the first four forming the Meshushim and Zaki Lagoons before reaching the Sea of Galilee.
