Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad released statements that if negotiations with Israel are to move along, Jerusalem must realize that a withdrawal to the pre-June 1967 boundaries is a must, explaining this means pulling back from the Golan Heights to Tiveria.
On this the Syrian ruler was quoted in the UAE newspaper al-Khaleej as saying, “there will be no compromise”.
The Syrian leader indicated he does not see talks opening with Israel before next year.
During a visit to the Golan Heights on Tuesday, Transportation Minister Shaul Mofaz, a former IDF chief of staff, stated that at present, it does not appear that the Syrians are ready to seriously talk peace. Mofaz stated that a dialogue is important, but acknowledged there is a wide gap regarding the positions of both sides.
Mofaz does not support giving away the Golan, stating on Tuesday, “I know every piece of this land and recognize its strategic value to Israel,” adding that he hopes an agreement can be reached in the future without Israel relinquishing the Golan.

There can be NO negociations with the ARABS since they have nothing to compromise or negociate on, with more extensive kiruv kerovim and rechokim SHALOM will arrive.
It didn’t take long to show his true intentions.
Let’s see… 1 H-Bomb over Damascus, 1 A-Bomb over Tehran; carpet bomb Lebanon and Gaza; send the rest of the subversives to Jordan/Egypt.
Ahhh PEACE!
if you can give (not back — it never was theirs) gaza, hevron, abu tor, etc, why cant you give them teveryah, or sderot, or miflasim (mapam (socialist) kibbutz near sderot), or meron, or zfat, or tel aviv!
by the way, they are obvioulsy refering to land israel took in the early 1950’s by ben gurion, not 1967 land (to simplify matters).
I didn’t realize al-Assad was trying to break into the stand-up comedy business. Hatzlacha to him. Maybe he’ll get a tv show.
Israel must wipe the syrians out

********** Hashem has started the salvation by accomplishing step 1, “Veshavu banin legevulam”, Balfour Declaration, UN agreement, establishment of the state and the eventually return of hundreds of thousands of Yidden to Eretz Yisroel. It is only increasing in #, more and more flights this summer, yeshiva couples staying and buying apartments, singles opting for E”Y verus coming back home. Thank GD.
