Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Mouallem said that the Doha Agreement, the indirect Syrian-‘Israeli' peace negotiations, and the agreement between ‘Israel' and Hamas are all steps toward a solution to serious regional problems.
"Syria has been calling for this, and things are going in this direction," Mouallem told Al-Sharq al-Awsat daily during Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad's visit to India.
Mouallem denied that Syria is being pressured to undergo direct negotiations with ‘Israel'. "It is difficult to move into this phase before reaching an agreement over the structure of the peace deal."
He also welcomed the possible ‘Israeli' withdrawal from the Shibaa Farms under US pressure. "We are with the ‘Israeli' withdrawal from Arab land, whether it is called Shebaa, Golan or al-Quds."
