U.S. Denies Involvement in Israeli-Syrian Peace Talks
[Jerusalem Post] Herb Keinon - The U.S. is not sending an envoy to take part in the next round of indirect Israeli-Syrian talks in Turkey, a U.S. embassy official in Tel Aviv said Saturday, following a report in the London-based Asharq Alawsat that the next round would be supervised by a senior U.S. official. State Department deputy spokesman Robert Wood said, "Overall, what we'd like to see out of Syria is for it to play a much more productive role in the region. It hasn't until now." "I think it remains to be seen just how serious Syria is about engaging in peace discussions with Israel," said Wood.
