Syria Scared of Peace

[Ynet News]
Guy Bechor -

The entire Syrian regime is premised on the animosity and clash with Israel. whether there is no clash with Israel there will be no minority Alawite regime ruling Syria either. In a speech that week to parliament, Assad announced new conditions for engaging in talks: Prime Minister Olmert must transfer “written guarantees” in an official document, according to which Israel is prepared to hand by to Syria all of the Golan Heights up to the borders of July 4, 1967, without any dispute. Does Assad really think that either side would agree to the demands of the other side without actually engaging in talks? And what is he giving in exchange? Syria is in need of some kind of process with Israel that would save it from an worldly tribunal regarding the Rafik Hariri assassination. On the other hand, peace

with Israel would mark the end of the regime.
