Syria state-run paper: If Livni wants peace, she will achieve it
By Yoav Stern, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: Tzipi Livni, Israel, Kadima 

"If Livni desires peace - she will achieve it," an editorial in the official Syrian state-run newspaper Tishreen proclaimed Saturday, in what is the first Syrian reaction since Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni was elected chair of the ruling Kadima party.

Issam Dari, the editor-in-chief of Tishreen, suggested in his editorial that Livni's family background as daughter of a Jewish pre-State underground member makes her ill-equipped to denounce Palestinian terror.

"Livni should bear this in mind: If your house is made of glass, don't go hurling stones on others," the editorial warned.

"We hope you won't be quick in accusing Palestinians and Arabs of terror, because with your record - you can't blame others for doing what you have done all your life."

Livni's father Eitan Livni, and her mother Sara Rosenberg were both well-known members of the pre-state militant organization the Irgun.

Under the headline "Tzipi - the new bird of Israel," the editorial described the new Kadima chair as the "Mossad dove" as well as the "pretty woman from the Mossad," a reference to the two years Livni spent in the 1980s working as a low-level agent in the Israeli espionage agency.

Dari added that "Mrs. Livni is well aware of the demands for peace, and she knows that the way to achieve the just peace everyone is yearning for is by returning the occupied Arab land to its rightful owners."

Also on Saturday, Sources in Turkey told Haaretz that peace talks between Israel and Syria will continue as planned with Livni in charge of the Kadima Party.

The sources said that they agree with recent assessment printed in a Turkish paper that predicted Israel will not try to freeze the talks despite the resignation of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
