DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - The Israeli president went on Arab television Wednesday to urge Syria's leader to accept his invitation to come to Israel and launch new peace talks between the longtime enemies.
In the interview with the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera TV channel, Moshe Katsav urged Syrian President Bashar Assad to ease Israelis' suspicions over Assad's recent comment that he is interested in resuming peace negotiations that stalled in 2000.
