[ Ynet News] Amnon Meranda - IDF Intelligence chief Maj.-Gen. Amos Yadlin told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Sunday he believed Syrian President Bashar Assad was "in a win-win situation" in regards to peace talks with Jerusalem. "Alleviating the tensions (between Israel and Syria) and creating a far calmer atmosphere allows him to, on the one hand, keep building up his military and make it through the summer in peace - while, on the other hand, the world looks upon him favorably, even when he doesn't have to give anything in return."
