PM: In talks, Israel must keep in mind Syria's long-range rockets By Barak Ravid Tags: peace talks, ehud barak  Israel will have to take into consideration the current threats from Syria - long-range rockets and missiles - in its negotiations with Damascus, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told the cabinet Sunday. He said the country's security needs had changed since the previous round of talks, when the primary threat from Syria was a ground war. Olmert also said Syria was responsible for making the negotiations public. Advertisement "The Syrians were those who had an interest in publicizing the talks with Israel, and it was not an Israeli initiative," Olmert told the cabinet. But he said that as in the past, the details of the negotiations would not be made public. The prime minister also said talks would be governed by the principles of the 1991 Madrid conference, which he said represents a broad Israeli consensus. Defense Minister Ehud Barak told the cabinet that Israel has an interest in pursuing peace with Syria. "Israel would be making a mistake if it were to bring the Syrian track to an end," he said. But Barak also said peace with Israel does not seem to top Syria's things-to-do list. "My impression is that the Syrians have different priorities, in which Israel doesn't appear until the end," he said.
