Right of conquest.
The Golan Heights were used to fire shells into Israel and to launch attacks.
It is purely defensive to take and hold such a position at least until guarantees are in place.

Israel's borders were crossed by invading neighbours so it pushed them back to defensible boundaries.
Defensive.
It did not keep all the land it conquered. It had all the Sinai and beyond Sharm el Sheik.
