(Ynet News) Roni Sofer - Syria is responsible for the failure of peace negotiations between Jerusalem and Damascus, Deputy Foreign Minister Daniel Ayalon told the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University on Tuesday. Ayalon said that "Syria didn't desire peace, and through these negotiations it fooled everyone in a bid to emerge from global isolation. Looking back today, we can say that the Turkish mediation was a mistake." Syria "must prove that is desires peace, not war," he said. He stressed that relations with Turkey will continue to be good, "as this is the interest of both sides."
