What an idiotic commentary by Amnon Abramovitch. Unless Syria joins forces with Egypt and Iran, their chances of even surviving the next war with Israel are zero. In 1982, when they had the backing of the Soviets, the last time the air forces fought, we shot down all the planes they sent up. They tried to sneak through a nuclear bomb plant. We knocked out their radar last year and destroyed it. Germany no longer has Prussia because it waged aggressive war and lost. Syria attacked Israel three times and there’s a price to pay, in their case, the Golan Heights. What they gain from a peace treaty is an opening to the western world, which would benefit their people in every conceivable way, and regional co-operation with Israel. Any proposed treaty, and this lame-duck discredited prime minister will not be bringing one, will have to put to referendum and the chances of it passing are zero. Talking never hurts, but that’s all this is.
