Damascus - The United States-sponsored Middle East peace conference in November should address all peace tracks, otherwise, peace would be partial and in Israel's interest only, a Syrian pro- government newspaper said Wednesday. The US has invited Syria to the conference, but President Bashar Assad has made it clear his country will not attend if the conference did not address the Golan Heights, which Israel captured from Syria in the 1967 Mideast war.
Israel wants talks to focus on its relations with the Palestinians rather than Syria.
