Report: Olmert Told Assad 'Take Golan and Make Peace'
(IsraelNN.com) Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told Syrian President Bashar Assad in the past month that he would be willing to withdraw from the Golan Heights if Syria were prepared to make peace with Israel, according to the Hebrew newspaper Yediot Aharonot. The Syrian ruler responded positively to the offer, the newspaper stated.
The report added that Prime Minister Olmert instructed aides to make contacts with Assad following an hour-long phone conversation with American President George W. Bush last month. The President reportedly gave his go-ahead for the contacts despite the stated American policy that dissuades Israel from dealing with Syria so long as it supports terrorism.
