Turkey: Syria-Israel talks to continue with Livni in charge
By Yoav Stern , Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: Tzipi Livni, Syria, Turkey 

Sources in Turkey told Haaretz on Saturday that peace talks between Israel and Syria will continue as planned with Tzipi 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.

"There is a benefit to Israel and to Syria in these talks. For the first time, there is a powerful obligation and need in Syria to use them."

The sources also said that it is clear that at this moment there will be a stage of uncertainty, but once a new government is assembled in Israel, the talks will be able to continue as planned.

The English-language Turkish daily "Turkish Daily News" has published reports from Turkish diplomats stating that in spite of recent delays, the talks are expected to renew in the near future.

Shortly before the Kadima Party primaries, Livni hinted that she would not rush to send envoys to meet with Syria unless the country severs its ties with Iran and stops supporting Hezbollah and Hamas
