Defeat For Peace?
August 28, 2007 · Mustapha Hamoui
One of Lebanon’s most respected commentators speculates on the nature of a probable war scenario between Syria and Israel.
In his flagship Monday column, Ghassan Tueni, a March 14 figure and father of a martyred Journalist, imagines a situation where Syria and Israel go to a pretend-war over the Golan heights. Mr. Tueni thinks loudly: Why not? Both can win. Israel would win militarily and restore morale to its Armed forces after its humiliation last July.
Syria would win too. This scenario would allow Israel to give the Golan back to Syria after they sign a peace treaty.
Mr. Tueni’s point? Only Lebanon (including Hezbollah) would lose.
