Israel and Abbas agree to peace talks

Israel and the Palestinian Authority have agreed a pledge to negotiate "immediately and continuously" to reach a final peace agreement within a year in a joint declaration to be issued in 10 days at a key summit in the US.

But the draft declaration avoids going into detail on the core issues in the dispute. Israel has rejected any mention of the 1967 borders, seen by the Palestinians and many others as the indispensable basis for agreement. Expectations for success by next November are very low. But signs are multiplying that Syria and Saudi Arabia will both attend, giving wider Arab backing to the US effort.

What is interesting about is the Syrian support for the talks. It leads on to another topic. Iran.

If there was to a strike against the Iranian Republic, what would be the Syrian reaction? If Syria is going to attend these peace talks, it suggest that no action would be taken.

Has there been an agreement in secret? Who know's. I just think its interesting that Syria is joining and giving Arab support to these talks.
