Israel open to peace talks with Syria: Netanyahu

JERUSALEM -- Israel's prime minister says his country is open to peace talks with Syria, attempting to end a recent war of words between the two old enemies.

Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel wants peace agreements with the Palestinians and the Syrians similar to the ones it signed with Egypt and Jordan.

Israeli and Syrian officials have traded threats over the past week, raising concerns of an escalation. Netanyahu's comments at his Cabinet's weekly meeting Sunday appeared aimed at calming those tensions.

Netanyahu says Israel is willing to negotiate if there are no preconditions and if its security is guaranteed. Syria is demanding Israel withdraw from the Golan Heights, a strategic plateau Israel captured in 1967 and later annexed.

It is just to divert Syria from Iran as India also recently announced Pakistan to start talk over Kashmir. Actually all signals coming from USA in order to divert both Pakistan and Syria from Iran.

As the same way, USA convinced Russia not to put anti missile defense shield in Russia's neighbors but Foolish Russia believe American's tricky temporary offer and the same way America will try to convince China that they will not deliver arms to Taiwan in order to get China with the west on Iran but Smart China will understand the west's temporary trick and will not listen to them and stay with Iran and today's Iran will be the most important weapon for China. If Iran stop oil flow to America in the future by convincing all gulf states than Taiwan automatically comes to join with China, there will be no need for war or threat. China can use Iran its best weapon in all regard in the future.
