Obama promised U.S. reconciliation with Syria
WASHINGTON — Presidential-elect Barack Obama has pledged to improve U.S. relations with Syria and Egypt.
Aides said Obama had sent senior foreign policy adviser Robert Malley to Egypt and Syria to outline the Democratic candidate's policy on the Middle East.
The aides said Malley, who served in the administration of President Bill Clinton, relayed a pledge from Obama that the United States would seek to reconcile with Damascus as well as enhance relations with Cairo.
The aide said Obama plans to launch a U.S. diplomatic initiative toward Syria, regarded by the Bush administration as a leading supporter of the Al Qaida insurgency in Iraq. Obama, unlike President George Bush, has also supported Israeli peace negotiations with the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
"The tenor of the messages was that the Obama administration would take into greater account Egyptian and Syrian interests," the aide said.
