Israel Postpones Indirect Peace Talks with Syria
Comment: I am using Toni's Language, I always believed and said Both are not serious and the Indirect Peace Talks shall lead to no where, Bashar screwed Israel (without using a condom). He used the Indirect Peace Talks to break the Isolation. Still "Syria Lovers" at the Palestinian Pundit shall read it the other way, a humiliation to Syria
17/09/2008 Syria said Wednesday that a fifth round of indirect peace talks with Israel scheduled for Thursday had been postponed at the request of the Zionist entity.
"The Israeli side asked for it to be postponed," Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moualem told reporters in Damascus.
"When Israel is ready to resume the talks, we will be ready as well," said Moualem, who was speaking after a meeting with his Spanish counterpart.
An official at the Israeli Prime Minister's Office confirmed that Israel had asked to postpone the fifth round of indirect peace talks with Syria by a limited amount of time.
The reason for the request is the delay in the examination of the conflict of interests on the part of Israeli negotiator Yoram Turbowicz, who announced his resignation as Ehud Olmert's chief of staff in July, shortly after the Israeli prime minister said he would leave office because of corruption charges.
The official stressed that the fifth round of talks would be rescheduled as soon as the bureaucratic issue is solved. "A message has been relayed to the Syrians, and the meeting will take place," the source said.
Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev said Israel hoped the indirect negotiations would go on. "Israel remains committed to the Turkish initiative and to the indirect talks with the Syrians. We are hopeful that the next round of talks will be able to begin shortly," he said.
Syrian President Bashar Assad said on September 4 the fifth round of Turkish-mediated indirect talks, originally scheduled for earlier this month, had been postponed at Israel's request because of the resignation of an Israeli negotiator. Assad had described the fifth round of talks as "crucial".
The talks are focused on the fate of the Golan Heights, a strategic plateau which Israel captured from Syria in the 1967 Middle East war. Damascus wants the whole territory returned.
Israel wants Syria to scale back ties with its main foes – Iran and the Palestinian Hamas and Lebanese Hezbollah resistace groups. Syria has so far refused to do so.

The Israelis are never serious about peace talks , especially when they have no intention to leave the water rich Golan , they just play a game to clean up their reputation in the media , while continuing to build more settlments .
fatima, nice to see you here

Israel shall be Serious in two cases:
2-If it's "peace = total surrender" coditions are met, which is not going to happen.
2-On feeling the heat.
The zionists dream of great Israel from Nile to Forat coolapsed with Israels failure to digest Gaza and west bank, ccpied since 1967, and falure to stay in Lebanon.
The Zionist Dream og Great Israel over Historical land of Palestine coolapsed with the pullout from Gaza.
The Usrael Dream to reshape the Middle east collapsed mainly after the defeat in Jully 2006, thanks also to Iraqi resistance, the first resistance that started immediatly after the fall of Baghdad, the Only resistance fifgting almost without Support. Still Our Tony would Jump again and Say: Iraqi resistance, what resistance.
Israel felt the heat and expecting more heat especially from the north, they tried in Jully and failed, they tried to stab Hizbullah from the back and failed on May 7, 2008. Iran is far and strong, So Syria is the soft belly
they might thought that Syria is the soft belly, they are trying the game of Stick and carrot, and with both the Target is Hizbullah and Hamas. Bashar is tring to avoid the stick and get the carrot for free.
It's tough political/Deplomatic war and and Syrians are the masters of such wars,
Nice to see you lucia too . hope you are alright .
Syria appoints ambassador to Iraq
Thus Posted the smart Anal-ysist
and
Thus commented his Khara
COMMENT by Zarathustra: The filthy Syrian regime which has not had diplomatic relations with Iraq since 1980 , Sided with Iran during the war , Supported the US in "Liberating" Kuwait, helped the Americans by closing the border to the resistance... Now has the Chuztpah to open an embassy in Iraq further legitimizing the illegal government under occupation. Shame on them and their supporters.
Iran and Syria are the Enemy.
My comment: Looking into the full portion of the cup I would say:
Appointing an ambassador to Iraq is a smart move, in the right time, after breaking the Issolation, ahead of the US elections. In moving to the Iraqi scene, syria may work in co-ordination with Iran to Unite Sunna torn between Sadamist, Quaeda, and Shawas, and
unite Iraqis to put an end to the occupation, at least strenthen the Iraqi opposition to the US/Iraq security deal.
