Poor Syria

An article in today's Jeruisalem Post discusses urgent requests by the US to Syria for it to refrain from undermining the talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority that start next week. Syria, instead, is talking about intelligence that Israel is preparing to attack Syria. Last week it was Lebanon, a country under the control of Syria, that was talking about an imminent Israeli attack. Translated into English, these statements make clear that Syria is not going to cooperate towards achieving peace.
