Syria to Palestinians: Quit Mideast peace talks, resume violence

[oberliner]

Syria and Libya teamed up Sunday to pressure Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to quit peace talks with Israel and return to violence, delegates to an Arab leadership summit said.

In the wake of that call, Arab leaders gathered at their summit Sirte, Libya on Sunday failed to reach a consensus on whether the Palestinians should resume stalled talks with Israel.

An adviser to the U.S.-backed Palestinian leader quickly rejected the suggestion, calling for the 22 nations represented at the gathering to be realistic. Despite the opposition from two of Israel's longtime foes, the summit had been expected Sunday to renew backing for Palestinian peace talks with Israel.

The Arab League has now scheduled an extraordinary summit for later
this year to tackle issues it had been unable to resolve during its two days of meeting.

4. More helpful advice.

Maybe the Palestinians that are screwing up Syria will leave.

5. Israel elects a radical government utterly disinterested in peace...

while peace in the region is in our interest and the regions interest.

Clearly Syria and Libya are interested in continuing the war there, as is Bibi. Syria and Libya are happy to let Palestinians die for Syrian and Libyan regional interests.
