- Story Text: Israeli and Syrian negotiators resumed talks outside Washington in the United States (U.S.) on Wednesday (January 3) with both sides urging the other to show more flexibility in the quest for peace.
The talks, at the secluded Wye Plantation conference centre in Maryland, are scheduled to last three days and aim to pick up where a first round of negotiations ended last Friday.
The main stumbling block is the fate of the Golan Heights, the fertile land between Israel and Syria captured by the Israelis during the 1967 war.
Syria has demanded a total withdrawal, while Israel have previously insisted on early warning stations to be set up on the Golan Heights.
