01/02/2010 Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned Monday that the stalled so-called peace process with Syria could augur ill for the future of the Middle East.
"In the absence of an arrangement with Syria, we are liable to enter a belligerent clash with it that could reach the point of an all-out, regional war," Barak told senior Israel Defense Forces officers on Monday.
"Just like the familiar reality in the Middle East, we will immediately sit down with Syria after such a war and negotiate on the exact same issues which we are have been discussing with them for the last 15 years," the Israeli minister claimed.
"A political arrangement is not the dream come true of the other side," Barak added. "This will be a choice of no choice. If the other side believes that it is possible to bring down Israel, to wage a battle of attrition against it, or lure it into a honey trap, then it will prefer to do so."
