In an interview with As-Safir, Assad said he believes that Israel's leaders need a new military operation because they are in a political crisis. "Syria will resist, stand strong and never give in," he said. The leadership of Israel's Kadima Party is divided on negotiating with Syria, the Jerusalem Post reported. In August, Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter said that he supports trading withdrawal from the Golan Heights for a permanent peace agreement but Prime Minister Ehud Olmert disagrees. "I am the last person who will say I want to negotiate with Syria," Olmert said, calling Syria "the single most aggressive country of the axis of evil." -- -------------------------------------------------------- Escaping the Matrix website http://escapingthematrix.org/ cyberjournal website http://cyberjournal.org subscribe cyberjournal list mailto:•••@••.••• Posting archives http://cyberjournal.org/show_archives/ Blogs: cyberjournal forum http://cyberjournal-rkm.blogspot.com/ Achieving real democracy http://harmonization.blogspot.com/ for readers of ETM http://matrixreaders.blogspot.com/ Community Empowerment http://empowermentinitiatives.blogspot.com/ Blogger made easy http://quaylargo.com/help/ezblogger.html
