Olmert confirmed the ongoing secret talks with Syria on “peace” in return for the Golan Heights. The talks are conducted through Turkey. Olmert’s idea is wooing Syria from Iran by peace promises; Israeli Military Intelligence concurs. Why would, however, Syria prefer cold peace with Israel to hot friendship with Iran? Syria doesn’t need peace with Israel; Israel, too, doesn’t need that peace treaty but sues for it.
During their prime ministerial terms, Barak and Netanyahu agreed to give the Golan Heights away to Syria in return for a peace treaty.
