Olmert: 'The Syrians know what we want and we know what they want'
"The Syrians know what we want and we know what they want," Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Wednesday, the day after the opening of diplomatic negotiations with Damascus were announced.
| "And we know that they know what we want, and that we know what they want!" |
Speaking to French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner in Jerusalem, Olmert said that Israel intends to conduct negotiations on both the Syrian and Palestinian tracks, with neither coming at the expense of the other.
| "And they know that we know that they know what we want, that that they know that we know what they want!" |
The prime minister made it clear that Israel aspires to reach peace with the Palestinians in the coming year and added that both his talks with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on this issue and the talks between the heads of the negotiating teams - Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and PA negotiator Ahmad Qurei - were "serious and important."
