Damascus - The revived peace talks between Syria and Israel may be hindered by a weak Israeli prime minister beleaguered by a domestic crisis and Washington staying out of the discussions, Syrian analysts said Wednesday.
Syria and Israel announced last week they were engaged in indirect talks under Turkish auspices over the future of Syria's Golan Heights, which has been under Israeli occupation since June 5, 1967.
Damascus - A group of Palestinian and Syrian volunteers completed a 27,900 meter square Palestinian flag Friday in an effort to enter Guinness World Records.
The flag, which is proportional to the square kilometres of Palestine, was shown in a square in al-Zahera district near Damascus. The idea for the flag was initiated by Palestinian activists in the West Bank.
