Syria threatens to take back Golan by force

Assad SyriaSyrian officials on Saturday threatened to recapture the Golan Heights by force if a peace agreement is not reached with Israel.

A group calling itself the Syrian Committee for the Freedom of the Golan said that it will take steps to regain control of the territory, adding that Israel has not shown willingness to achieve peace or to return what they called "Syrian land."

The comments were made at the inauguration ceremony, attended by Syrian President Bashar Assad, for a new communications center in Quneitra.

"The communications center will report on the troubles of Syrian residents residing in the occupied Golan under barbaric and racist Israeli rule," said Syrian Information Minister Mohsen Bilal at the ceremony, in a reference to some members of the Druze community who wish to live within Syrian territory.

Assad last Sunday rejected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's offer to resume peace talks between the two countries from "point zero."

Assad said the negotiations should resume from the point at which they stopped under former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, when the two sides had planned to formulate mutual commitments that would enable the talks to move to a direct negotiations stage.

The indirect negotiations stopped some six months ago, following Operation Cast Lead, and the announcement of early elections in Israel.
