Not Yet.

I had an e-mail exchange with a fellow whose analysis is considered much more serious than my own, this fellow actually gets paid to write about such things (unlike yours truly). He notes the meetings between Syrians & Israelis were non-official. The Haaretz article even makes that plain.

In the end if Jimmy Carter gets up and flies to some undisclosed location and has talks with some guy from Iran they can agree to anything. What does it mean? It means unless Carter and the fellow he was talking to can personally deliver on, forget it.

In short regarding the "talks" between Israel and Syria, forget it.
