Walid Moallem leans forward in the armchair of the Paris Intercontinental Opera. "It's all on the record," he snaps. It usually is. The Syrians can be up- front when you least expect it. Syria's Foreign Minister is one of their top negotiators, a man who knows Israel's diplomats almost as well as they know themselves, who understands all the traps of the Middle East.

Saudi Arabia supports Russia's initiative of holding a conference on the Middle East in Moscow.
"We back this idea and are going to attend this meeting," Saudi Arabian National Security Council's Secretary-General Bandar bin Sultan told journalists on Monday, responding to a question posed by Interfax.
"The situation in the Middle East peace process is very complex," he said, adding that it was unlikely to be settled under the current U.S. administration.
"It is hard to say whether anything could be achieved before the end of this year. Probably not," he said.
"The Israeli position raises no optimism, problems also remain among the Palestinians," Bandar bin Sultan said

Blair says peace deal is being undermined by doubts over Ehud Olmert:
A day after he was prevented from visiting Gaza by an assassination threat, Tony Blair raised doubts for the first time yesterday that a peace deal could be concluded between Israel and the Palestinians by the end of the year.
Mr Blair, the international community’s envoy to the Middle East, said that the uncertain political future of Ehud Olmert, the Israeli Prime Minister, was undermining efforts to conclude a deal, which President Bush had said would be signed in 2008.
“The political situation in Israel makes it difficult to continue being optimistic about reaching a peace treaty between the Israelis and Palestinians by the end of the year,” the former Prime Minister told the Palestinian newspaper al-Quds.
