According to an interview appearing in a Kuwaiti newspaper, a �senior Syrian military official� states that �Syria is conducting talks with Israel with a finger on the trigger�.

Marking 35 years since the Yom Kippur War, the daily al-Watan reports on Monday that Syria is warning if Israel does not take genuine steps towards peace, and stop attacks against Palestinians in Yehuda, Shomron and Gaza, a new war will result in the region.
�
Unnamed officials quoted in the report state Syria is ready for every eventuality, and a first priority remains ensuring the return of Arab land and compliance with United Nations resolutions. �When the conditions demanded, Syria went to war in October (Yom Kippur War) and emerged victorious�.
�
The source continues that even today, Syria remain loyal to her principles. �When the Zionist enemy wishes to talk peace, Syria enters into talks but clings to her interests and rights and refuses to make the slightest concession.�
�
�Syria enters into talks with the Zionist enemy with a finger on the trigger � telling Israel Syria will not forsake what is coming and the return of land.�
