Ali Babacan told reporters Monday that an agreement between the two countries requires strong political determination from both sides.

Turkey, which has close ties to both Israel and Syria, has disclosed that it is trying to restart low-level talks between the two countries as a prelude to bringing the leaders of Syria and Israel together, the Associated Press reported.

The last round of direct peace talks between the two countries broke down in 2000 over the details of Israel’s proposed withdrawal from the Golan Heights.
