So remind me who is it that you claim is always ducking peace proposals?
Quote:
The lead story in this morning's Ha'aretz was that an unofficial agreement has been reached between Israeli and Syrian representatives on a possible peace treaty between the two countries.
The Ha'aretz article claims that over the course of two years, a secret understanding had been reached after a series of meeting in Europe. The agreement calls for Israel's complete withdrawal to the lines of 4th of June 1967 (prior to the Six Day War). The theoretical agreement calls for turning much of the Golan Heights into an international park. It also calls on Syria to end its support of Hezbollah and Hamas. Both Jerusalem and Damascus deny any official knowledge of the agreement. From the Israeli side it is obvious that the negotiations were undoubtedly unofficial but it is hard to believe that they took place without any government knowledge. On the other hand, nothing happens in Syria without the government knowing about it.
The Syrians continue signalling that they are interested in entering official negotiations with Israel. Clearly the Israeli government is unable to enter negotiations at the moment. Leaving aside strategic issues or even the potential cost of peace with Syria, the current government is too weak to take any initiative.

Yep, there is a string on Middle east thread about 242 and Abu lost that as well, see Klipkaps postings for full clarification.
