Israelis, Syrians To Resume Talks

Israel and Syria on Tuesday agreed to resume face-to-face peace talks after an interruption of three months, although the two sides remain so distrustful of each other that it took more than 12 hours for U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher to tie down every detail.

Christopher said the two nations’ ambassadors to the United States - Israeli Itamar Rabinovich and Syrian Walid Moualem - will conduct the talks in Washington, probably starting before the month’s end.
