A senior Syrian official has expressed confidence regarding the possibility that indirect peace talks with Israel will come to fruition, saying that a peace agreement would be a source of "bliss" in the Middle East.

"Our people will enjoy life without bad dreams of the martyrdom of their children, we will improve living conditions and we will open up to the international community."
"The impact of peace will be bliss for the entire region," he added.

Syrian official tomorrow...

Too bad the “bliss” will only come after the Syrian civil war.
If Syria really thinks peace in Israel would be bliss, why have the Syrians never had a leader who showed much interest in peace?
When he said “our children”, he wasn’t talking about Israeli children. Open borders means, “kill at will”.
