Barak: Israel, Syria know they have to make sacrifices for peace

Defense Minister Ehud Barak commented Thursday on the renewed talks between Israel and Syria, saying both side will be required to make sacrifices.

"The Syrians know concessions are a two-way street. Taking Syria out of the axis of evil is a primary goal for Israel. One must be realistic – peace can only be achieved from a position of power. Both sides know they will be required to make painful sacrifices… We still have a long way to go." (Aviram Zino)
