Did U.N. resolution #2334 require Israel to give the Golan Heights to ISIS? No, that's not true: a staunchly pro-Israel blog that seems to contain articles that are mostly copy pasted together from other sources embedded a video making that claim but it is not true. The resolution in question does not even mention the Golan Heights or the return of any land.
The story originated from an article published by PoliticsOnline on March 22, 2019 titled "UN to Israel "Give the Golan Heights to ISIS, including all its Christian population"" (archived here) which opened:
UN Security Council's anti-Israel Resolution #2334 technically requires Israel to give land to Islamic State (ISIS).
Britain, the US and Australia should stop funding the UN.
The U.N. General Assembly elected Qatar, Congo and Pakistan to its top human rights body, joining existing members such as Saudi Arabia, China, Cuba and Venezuela.
Countries that practice Sharia laws have been chosen to be human rights watchdogs.
Even a country like Iran has been given a seat in the UN Human.
Users on social media only saw this title, description and thumbnail:
UN to Israel "Give the Golan Heights to ISIS, including all its Christian population"
UN Security Council's anti-Israel Resolution #2334 technically requires Israel to give land to Islamic State (ISIS). Britain, the US ...
The whole article reads like it has been copy pasted together from various anti-U.N. and anti-muslim talking points, with some sentences even appearing to be incomplete ("Even a country like Iran has been given a seat in the UN Human.").
The actual text of U.N. Resolution 2334 (which can be found here) does not even contain the words "Golan", "Syria" or "ISIS". It deals mainly with settlement activity in Palestinian territories and does not speak of returning land to anyone. Here is the relevant section:

Reiterating its vision of a region where two democratic States, Israel and Palestine, live side by side in peace within secure and recognized borders,
Stressing that the status quo is not sustainable and that significant steps, consistent with the transition contemplated by prior agreements, are urgently needed in order to (i) stabilize the situation and to reverse negative trends on the ground, which are steadily eroding the two-State solution and entrenching a one-State reality, and (ii) to create the conditions for successful final status negotiations and for advancing the two-State solution through those negotiations and on the ground,
1. Reaffirms that the establishment by Israel of settlements in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, has no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law and a major obstacle to the achievement of the two-State solution and a just, lasting and comprehensive peace;
2. Reiterates its demand that Israel immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and that it fully respect all of its legal obligations in this regard;

6. Calls for immediate steps to prevent all acts of violence against civilians, including acts of terror, as well as all acts of provocation and destruction, calls for accountability in this regard, and calls for compliance with obligations under international law for the strengthening of ongoing efforts to combat terrorism, including through existing security coordination, and to clearly condemn all acts of terrorism;
7. Calls upon both parties to act on the basis of international law, including international humanitarian law, and their previous agreements and obligations, to observe calm and restraint, and to refrain from provocative actions, incitement and inflammatory rhetoric, with the aim, inter alia, of de-escalating the situation on the ground, rebuilding trust and confidence, demonstrating through policies and actions a genuine commitment to the two-State solution, and creating the conditions necessary for promoting peace;
8. Calls upon all parties to continue, in the interest of the promotion of peace and security, to exert collective efforts to launch credible negotiations on all final status issues in the Middle East peace process and within the time frame specified by the Quartet in its statement of 21 September 2010;
9. Urges in this regard the intensification and acceleration of international and regional diplomatic efforts and support aimed at achieving, without delay a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East on the basis of the relevant United Nations resolutions, the Madrid terms of reference, including the principle of land for peace, the Arab Peace Initiative and the Quartet Roadmap and an end to the Israeli occupation that began in 1967; and underscores in this regard the importance of the ongoing efforts to advance the Arab Peace Initiative, the initiative of France for the convening of an international peace conference, the recent efforts of the Quartet, as well as the efforts of Egypt and the Russian Federation;10. Confirms its determination to support the parties throughout the negotiations and in the implementation of an agreement;11. Reaffirms its determination to examine practical ways and means to secure the full implementation of its relevant resolutions;12. Requests the Secretary-General to report to the Council every three months on the implementation of the provisions of the present resolution;13. Decides to remain seized of the matter.
