Christopher urges testing Syria peace willingness in Mideast
Secretary of State Warren Christopher urged Israel's Netanyahu to test Syria's readiness for peace after Hebron accord with Yasser Arafat. He praised Netanyahu for engaging with Arafat and pulling back in the West Bank, likening it to Rabin's peace moves while noting Syria's demand for withdrawal from the Golan Heights as a precondition. Christopher warned that delaying the Hebron deal could spark West Bank violence and said the United States would push for discussions with all parties, including Syria, on next steps.
