The inFOCUS Magazine, The Jewish Policy Center quarterly journal, has published a series of articles on Syria that included an interview with former Speaker of the House Hon. Newt Gingrich and articles by some of the best intellectuals and analysts who follow Syrian politics closely.
The articles cover a wide array of subject matters, from Assad's relationship with Iran, to the Shebaa Farms, to Syrian ambitions in Lebanon and its support of terrorism, and to its historic relationships with the old Soviet Union. Included also is analysis on why the Syrian-Israeli peace initiatives will fail.
When Jonathan Shanzer, editor of inFOCUS, asked Gingrich about the new administration's efforts to reach out to Syria, his response was "We'll have to wait and see until about six months from now".
