Differing voices regarding Syria in Israel's government




Israel's PM, Ehud Olmert, exhibited doubts as to the honesty of Syria's peace overtures and reminded the public that even the German FM left Assad "disappointed" after their recent meeting.
Taking the opposite view is Amir Peretz, Israel's Security Minister, who said that Syria's statements should be examined with care and that the appropriate discussions should be made.
Olmert found support in the chairman of the religious party Shas, minister Eli Yishay, who said that Assad made a virtual statement and Israel should be wary of the trap he is laying for her.
