MK Sa'ar: Assad visit to Tehran proof of Kadima government's failure

"(Syrian President) Bashar Assad's visit to Tehran and the statements he has made there are proof of the failure of the Kadima government's policy," Likud faction chairman Gideon Sa`ar said.

"After (Prime Minister) Ehud Olmert and (Foreign Minister) Tzipi Livni rolled out the red carpet for Assad in Paris and chased after him to get a handshake, he is responding with a resounding slap in the face. The continued hallucinatory negotiations with Syria offer the Syrian dictator international legitimacy," the Knesset member said. (Amnon Meranda)
