Statement by Prime Minister Ehud Barak at Opening of Israel-Syria Negotiations
The White House, Washington D.C., December 15, 1999
We came here to put behind us the horrors of war and to step
forward toward peace. We are fully aware of the opportunity, of
the burden of responsibility and of the fierceness, determination
and devotion that will be needed in order begin this march
together with our Syrian partners to make a different Middle East
where nations are living side by side in peaceful relationships
and mutual respect and good-neighborliness. We are determined to
do whatever we can to put an end to and to bring about the dreams
of children and mothers all around the region to see a better
future of the Middle East at the entrance to the new millennium.
Thank you very much.
