Israel Puts Pressure on Syria
Reuters Monday, April 14, 2003; 8:54 AM
Ankara, - Israel joined pressure on Syria on Monday, demanding it get Hezbollah guerrillas out of Lebanon and accusing it of supporting terrorism.
Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom, visiting Turkey, accused Damascus of harboring terrorists and granting refuge to senior Iraqi officials.
President Bush on Sunday warned Damascus it must cooperate with the United States and deny help to Iraqi officials fleeing a post-Saddam Iraq.
Shalom, speaking after talks with Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul, accused Damascus of undermining peace in the Middle East amid fears the U.S.-led war in the region could now spread to Iraq's neighbors.
