TEL AVIV, Israel, Dec 7, SPA -- Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Thursday he had no intentions of opening peace talks with Syria, despite the recommendations of a U.S. advisory group, but said Israel wants «with all our might» to restart peace talks with the Palestinians. The Iraq Study Group report, released Wednesday inWashington, calls for direct talks between Israel and itsneighbors, Syria, Lebanon and the Palestinians, and says that a concerted effort to resolve the Israel-Arab conflict would improve the situation in Iraq. But Olmert rejected that conclusion. «The attempt to create a linkage between the Iraqi issue and the Mideast issue _ we have a different view,» Olmert said, during the prime minister's annual meeting with Israeli journalists, according to a report of the Associated Press.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/409379
