Syria sees hope for peace deal with Israel
Article Abstract:
Syrian foreign minister Farouk al-Sharaa has welcomed statements from Israel which seem to indicate for the first time the latter country's desire for a full peace settlement. Both countries appear to have decided that an agreement cannot be reached before the forthcoming general elections in Israel, but an important development is that Israel views peace as being to its advantage. Syria has promised full peace in return for total withdrawal, while Israel is seeking full trade and diplomatic relations as soon as a treaty is signed.
