Says US envoy

The US administration is determined to achieve a ’truly comprehensive" Arab-Israeli peace settlement that includes normal relations between Israel and all ot its Arab neighbours. President Barack Obama s special Mideast envoy said Sunday.
George Mitchell was speaking to reporters in Damascus alter talks with Syrian President Bashar Assad.
it is Mitchell s second risit to Syria since he took up his post in the latest US diplomatic outreach to a country listed by W ashington as a state sponsor of terronsm and snubbed by Obam asp redecessor.
Last month. Mitchell became the high-est-level US administration official to visit Damascus since 2005. He acknowledged Syria's clout, declaring Damascus has a key role to play in promoting Mideast peace.
Mitchell described his talks with Assad
as 'very candid and positive", saying he discussed with the Syrian leader "the prospects for moving forward on our goal of comprehensive peace in the region and improved bilateral relations between Syria and the United States."
"I told President Assad that President Obama is determined to facilitate a truly comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace," he said. "That peace means between Palestinians and Israelis, between Syria and Israel, and between Lebanon and Israel."
"And of course, ultimately, the full normalisation of relations between Israel and all of the countries in the region. This is what the Arab peace initiative calls for, and it is the ultimate aim of the effort we are undertaking," Mitchell said.
He was referring to the so-called Arab peace plan, first proposed by Saudi King Abdullah in 2002 and relaunched five years later.
.Assad did not speak to reporters after the
meeting but Syria's official news agency,’ later quoted him as stressing to Mitchell "the Arab right to recover occupied lands through achieving a just and comprehen-sive peace."
On Syria's stalled peace talks with Israel, Mitchell said; "Our near-term goal is the resumption of negotiations. Comprehensive peace is the only way to guarantee stability, security, and prosperity for all of the states in the region."
Mitchell, however, said comprehensive peace required cooperation from both Israel and Arab countries
"If we are to succeed, we wall need Arabs and Israelis alike to work with us to bring about comprehensive peace," he said.
The Obama administration had a series of meetings with Syria and hopes the diplomatic outreach will encourage Damascus to play a positive role in both the Middle East peace process and in neighbouring Iraq.
