Yes, it does snow in some parts of the Middle East, the Occupied Golan happens to be one of them. Earlier this year Syrians enjoyed these delicious Golan apples for the first time since 1967. Here is the story from BBC:
Syria to import Golan apples
Syria has announced that it will buy 10,000 tons of apples from Arab farmers in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
It is the first time Syria has traded with Israeli-controlled territory. It usually observes an Arab League boycott of the Jewish state.
The decision came after farmers in the region had repeatedly called on the government to buy their produce, the Syrian foreign ministry said.
The ministry indicated that this would be a one-off transaction.
Explaining the decision, the ministry said in a statement that the apples were being imported "due to the harsh economic conditions which our brothers in the occupied Golan Heights are suffering from".
The apples were "grown on Syrian land and owned by Syrians," the statement said.

Israel will never give up the Golan.
2 reasons why:
1. The Golan's unique geography makes it a key stratgic military zone for the IDF.
2. The Golan is an important water source.
If Syria wants the Golan, it shouldn't have attack the Jewish State in the first place. That's what you get for trying to destroy nation!
thats not the point.
Israel is OBLIGED to withdraw from the Golan Heights to its rightful owners by international law and the Geneva convention.
Syrians, like Palestinians will never give up until they get their full rights and nothing less.
And finally, might does NOT make right.
