Kerry visiting Lebanon and Syria
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry, who at one time was mentioned as a possible candidate to be President Obama's Secretary of State, is in Beirut on Wednesday, and will be visiting Damascus on Thursday. The purpose of the trip is "to investigate the political situation in Syria and Lebanon and the prospects for progress in the Arab-Israeli peace process," a travel schedule provided by his committee office said. He is traveling with Middle East advisor Perry Cammack and committee staff director Frank Lowenstein, with no other members on the trip.
In Beirut, Wednesday, Kerry is due to meet with Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri, President Michel Suleiman, and Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri; and in Damascus he's due to meet with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem.
It goes without saying that in any such talks, Israel would be pressured to give up the Golan Heights for a piece of paper.
