- Story Text: Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak has arrived in the
United States where he is expected to have open-ended peace
talks with Syria's Foreign Minister Farouq al-Shara.
Barak flew into Edwards Airforce Base just before
midnight on Monday (Sunday 2) and was expected to travel to a
secluded West Virginia site for negotiations that are expected
to last at least one week.
The outcome could be the framework for a peace treaty
between Israel and Syria, bringing the Jewish state close to
completing the circle of peace with its immediate neighbours.
Barak and Shara met in Washington for two days last month.
President Bill Clinton and Albright on Monday will start talks
at a conference centre in Shepherdstown, West Virginia that
will tackle the substance of a dispute going back more than 50
years.
