Former U.S. President Bill Clinton says peace is possible between Israel and Syria if Iran and the media were banned from closed-door peace talks.
Clinton said the conflict then could be resolved in as little as 35 minutes, the London-based Asharq Al-Awsat Arabic newspaper reported Sunday.
Why 35 minutes and not 30 or 40? The former President apparently didn't specify.
Skeptics joked that this was how long it took for Clinton to complete his business with Monica Lewinsky and other women with whom he "did not have sex."
Clinton said the "Wye Plantation" talks between the two countries in 2000 in Shepherdstown, W. Va., showed promise and could serve as a basis for new talks.
In those negotiations, the Syrians were more flexible than the Israelis, Clinton wrote in his book, My Life in 2004, claiming there that former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to surrender the Golan Heights in exchange for a defense treaty with the United States. |
