Jerusalem – Ma’an – Syria is interested in peace with Israel, but only under the conditions stipulated in the Arab Peace Initiative, according to the country’s ambassador to the United States.
Ambassador Imad Moustapha told the Syria Comment on Tuesday that the “Syrian approach to peace with Israel falls under its endorsement of the pan-Arab Peace Initiative.”
“Therefore, any long-term relationship with Israel will ultimately fall within a broader Arab strategic plan," he said.
It would be “unreasonable to expect the Arab states and nations to have warm, friendly relations with Israel while the latter continues to occupy Arab land and humiliates the Palestinian people,” Moustapha added.
But the ambassador noted that Israel has not been particularly cooperative, having continued “moving settlers to the Golan, investing money there, annexing it and demonizing Syria,” he said.
