Israel: Ruling Out Syrian Talks and Turkish Mediation?

Speaking on Tuesday at the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University, Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister Daniel Ayalon said the peace talks between Israel and Syria under Turkey's mediation was a "mistake" because Syria not only "fooled" the international community to avoid further isolation but also harmed Turkish-Israeli relations:

Looking back today, we can say that the Turkish mediation was a mistake, as it affected the relations between us. Therefore, there is a need to separate between relations between countries and relations with the entire region.

Ayatlon added that Turkish-Israeli relations will be continue to be good "as this is the interest of both sides."

It appears that, to break the pressure of the Damascus-Ankara  line to continue peace talks, Israel will ofer a hand to Turkey and draw an "evil" Damascus. This would not only help Israeli decision-makers convince the Israeli public about  the "just" reasons of turning down peace talk offers but seek to repair damaged Israeli-Turkish relations after the Gaza War last December-January.

But how will Ankara react?
