Assad Rejects Israel’s Demand That Syria Disconnect From Iran
Syrian President Bashar Assad told the Italian magazine L’Espresso that Israel’s demand that Syria cut its ties with Iran and with Hizbullah was “irrelevant” to reviving peace talks, dormant since they fell through under the leadership of several recent prime ministers.
Assad, went on to emphasize that his country was offering peace in return for the Golan Heights, captured from Syria in 1967 and then again in 1973 after recurrent Syrian cross-border attacks.
Syria maintains ties with both Hizbullah and Iran, an extremist shi’ite terror organization and a dominantly-Shi’ite state which both seek Israel’s destruction.
