Syrian leaders are trying to warm up to the US as their main ally, Iran, is falling apart. Syria’s loyalty is as strong as the grass is green. It is currently greener on the other side of the hill.
In trying to mend sour Syrian-US relations, Damascus leaders sent Barack Obama an invitation to take a diplomatic trip to Israel’s enemy to the Northeast. The July 4th telegram praised Obama’s values and positions on global politics.
“The values that were adopted by President Obama during his election campaign
and after he was elected president are values that the world needs today… It
is very important to adopt the principle of dialogue in relations with countries
based on respect and mutual interest.”
We will see how the United States responds. Syria insists that peace with Israel will come if the Jewish state returns the Golan Heights, which was captured when fighting back Syria’s aggressive attack in 1967. I do not believe them.
