By JPOST.COM STAFF
Syrian-Israeli peace negotiations "will need international sponsorship in later stages of talks, particularly from the US," Syrian President Bashar Assad said Monday at a press conference during a visit to the United Arab Emirates.
Assad explained that the US was in an important position due to its status as a world power and its special and strong connections with Israel.
But the Syrian president stressed that talks were still in preliminary stages.
