One of the reporters who took part in the session told Army Radio that Olmert was trying to send a calming message to Syria. However, she said, he refused to answer questions about the widely reported Israeli air attack in northern Syria earlier this month. Israel has not commented on the incident, and Israeli media have been repeating foreign reports about it. “I have a lot of respect for the Syrian leader and for Syrian behaviour. They have internal problems, but we have no reason to rule out dialogue with Syria,” Olmert told the reporters, according to his office.
