Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter addressed the renewed peace talks with Syria on Thursday, calling the peace efforts "a strategic move on a global scale.” Dichter said that drawing Syria closer to the West is the only way of changing the situation in Lebanon and the region as a whole.
"The terror headquarters established in Syria must be eradicated. This is the condition for moving into an effective phase of the talks,” Dichter said in the international convention of internal homeland security ministers held in Jerusalem. (Efrat Weiss)
