U.S. President Barack Obama is resuming diplomatic ties with Syria after a four-year hiatus as he aims for a regional peace in the Middle East. Syrian President Bashar Assad has conditioned peace with Israel on its regaining sovereignty of the strategic Golan Heights. Slightly more than half of the population on the Golan comprises Jews, and most of the remainder are Druze.

Israeli Foreign Minister spokesman Andy David told Israel National News Wednesday morning that the move by the U.S. is part of President Obama’s policies of “talking with the enemy” and that the issue of the Golan Heights is not a top American priority.

Don't kid yourself Mr. David, Obama IS the enemy!!

We have had continuing diplomatic ties during the past four years. We just didn’t have an Ambassador at our embassy in Damascus. However, the Embassy was staffed and operating by American diplomats headed by a Charge’. And the Syrians have had their embassy operating in Washington DC during the past four years.

So there is something else here besides “restoring diplomatic ties”, kabar.

An indication of a favorable view toward Syria and its interests? That would surprise none of us.
