While warning Assad's troops, Liberman says Israel 'not ruling out' future ties

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman says any Syrian soldier who enters a demilitarized zone separation the Israeli and Syrian parts of the Golan “puts his life at risk.”

As Assad’s forces turn toward the Quneitra area abutting Israel, Damascus-linked troops have been seen entering the buffer zone area, set down in the 1974 separation of forces agreement between Israel and Syria.

Asked by a reporter accompanying his visit to the Golan if he could see a time when Israel and Syria have “some kind of relationship,” Liberman replies, “I reckon we are a long way from that, but we are not ruling out anything,” according to quotes carried by Reuters.
