Over at Syria Comment, they have posted excerpts of a position paper written by several prominent academics and diplomats about the U.S. role in Israel-Syria negotiations. The paper contends that the U.S. facilitate, and if necessary, join the Israel-Syria talks as without American assistance it might not be possible for painful concessions to be made on either side. However, they state that Syria must not assume that a new U.S. administration will necessarily embrace talks, as without Syrian accommodation on Lebanon and Iraq, it is unlikely the U.S. will be willing to spend the political capital necessary to help Syria recover its lost territory.
