Syria agrees to receive Druze leader
None
Syria's President Bashar Assad will meet Druze leader Walid Jumblatt in Damascus after he made conciliatory remarks about the Syrian leader, Hezbollah, which had been mediating between the two, said on Monday.
Jumblatt, once one of Syria's harshest critics, said in a televised interview with al-Jazeera on Saturday that comments he made about Assad three years ago had been "inappropriate." (Reuters)
