Syria Injects Golan Heights into Discussion
Syria has said that any Middle East Ceasefire must include discussion of the occupied Golan Heights. From the NYTimes:
Syria, one of Hezbollah’s main backers, said it will press for a cease-fire to end the fighting — but only in the framework of a broader Middle East peace initiative that would include the return of the Golan Heights. Israel was unlikely to accept such terms but the remarks were the first indication of Syria’s willingness to be involved in international efforts to defuse the Lebanese crisis.
Israel said it would accept a NATO-led international force to keep the peace along the border.
