[Ynet News] Ronny Sofer - "There will be no negotiations, as long as Syria continues to support terror and to be involved in the axis of evil," a senior official in the Prime Minister's Office clarified Tuesday. "Syria in its deeds and in Assad's deeds proves that it stands behind Damascus' four crimes: Arms smuggling to Hizballah in Lebanon while violating UN Resolution 1701; Sheltering [Hamas leader] Khaled Mashaal and the terror organizations in the Syrian capital in a bid to thwart any move for peace and release [kidnapped IDF soldier] Gilad Shalit on the Palestinian route; Increasingly close connections with Tehran, which calls for Israel's destruction; Active involvement in terror attacks carried out in Iraq against the Americans." "These acts prove that the Syrians are still deep inside the axis of evil and have not changed their ways. As long as they fail to change their deeds, we have no reason to start discussing the possibilities of negotiations," a diplomatic source in the Prime Minister's Office said.
