Iran and Syria Mock American Engagement

"Leaders of Iran and Syria Vow to Back 'Palestinian Resistance'"; AP; A9

In another embarrassing instance that Iran and Syria are not open to the new American administration’s policy of engagement, the two countries yesterday expressed support for Palestinian terrorism, which they call “resistance” and barely mentioned American overtures.

The most disheartening part of the article, however, discusses the Obama’s administration’s intention to put Israel on the block.

“There has been widespread speculation in the Middle East that the Obama administration would try to forge a bargain with Iran, in which Washington would press Israel for concessions in the peace effort with the Palestinians in exchange for Iran’s rolling back its nuclear program."
