Syria wants indirect negotiations with Turkey as mediator; Netanyahu is told by Sarkozy Golan Heights precondition dropped

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday he had heard from French President Nicolas Sarkozy that Syria was willing to relinquish preconditions for peace negotiations.

Syrian President Bashar Assad had previously stated that Israel would have to be willing to withdraw from the Golan Heights in order to launch negotiations.

"I told the Syrians we were ready to renew negotiations without preconditions," Netanyahu said during a Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee meeting.

"They replied that they were willing but we would first have to withdraw from the Golan Heights."

He added, "Sarkozy got back to me and said they were willing to relinquish the precondition, but that they didn't want direct negotiations. They want mediation. I told him I preferred direct talks, but if we must have a mediator he (Sarkozy) should mediate."

Recently Turkey has expressed willingness to act as mediator between the two parties, but Netanyahu has hinted he would not accept such a proposal because Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan "is not an impartial mediator".

French President Nicolas Sarkozy's name is starting to pop up more frequently in the Middle East peace process.  Today, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Sarkozy told him Syria was willing to come back to the negotiating table and has dropped the demand that Israel return the Golan Heights first.  Israel is willing to do so but would like to get away from indirect talks through Turkey.  Israel no longer considers Turkey an impartial mediator.  Mr. Netanyahu has suggested that he would prefer President Sarkozy to mediate the peace talks.

"I told the Syrians we were ready to renew negotiations without preconditions," Netanyahu said during a Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee meeting.

"They replied that they were willing but we would first have to withdraw from the Golan Heights."

He added, "Sarkozy got back to me and said they were willing to relinquish the precondition, but that they didn't want direct negotiations. They want mediation. I told him I preferred direct talks, but if we must have a mediator he (Sarkozy) should mediate."  ynetnews.com

So far, Syrian President Bashar Assad has not relinquished his demand that Turkey be the indirect mediator, but I have feeling that may change.  I would also keep an eye on President Sarkozy.  He may turn out to be a major player in the ME peace negotiations in the very near future.  I do see him as a person of interest in these last days.  Prime Minister Netanyahu and French President Sarkozy seem to be forming a political bond of trust.  That could turn out to be very dangerous for Israel in the future.

When the rapture takes place, it is my belief that whoever is in the best position to fulfill Bible prophecy (bring peace) will ultimately be chosen by Satan to be his Antichrist.  At this time, God is positioning the future Antichrist to be at the right place at the right time for Satan to choose him.  Whether it will turn out to be Mr. Sarkozy is anyone's guess, but he seems to be positioning himself to become the principle Middle East peacemaker.

In other news, Israeli Brig.-Gen. Yossi Baidatz claims that Iran is now capable of producing a nuclear bomb.  He also said that they have upgraded their missile technology to the point that they are capable of carrying a nuclear warhead that can now reach Israel.  "Speaking at the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Baidatz said Iran had successfully enriched 1,800 kilograms of uranium, enough to build over one bomb."  Jpost.com
