Syria has sent a list of proposals to Israel aimed at laying the groundwork for direct peace talks between the two foes, President Bashar al-Assad says.
“We are awaiting Israel’s response to six points submitted through Turkey,” Mr Assad said, promising Syria would respond positively to Israel’s answer.
Direct talks could happen once a new US administration “which believes in the peace process” takes office, he said.
Syria has remained in a state of war with Israel since its 1948 foundation.
