France is currently hosting a conference at which both Syria and Israel are present, and true to the nature of Arab states, the Syrians are being incredibly juvenile. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert tried to make eye contact with Syrian dictator Basher Assad, and Assad actually put his hand up in front of his face to avoid it: http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSL1332985620080713. At a separate meeting in which both the Israeli and Syrian foreign ministers were present, the Syrian represenative left when the Israeli representative, Tzipi Livni, was going to speak.
Are we really to believe that peace is possible between these two countries when the Syrians are pulling crap like this?
