Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad told Iranian TV that "the factors binding Syria and Iran are increasing and multiplying daily," and that Syria has no reason to distance itself from a country that is standing by its side. Assad added that the contacts between Syria and Israel "were not negotiations," even though the media called them so; they were more similar to James Baker's shuttle diplomacy on the eve of the 1991 Madrid Conference.
