A letter to Bashar Al-Assad

To:

Bashar al-Assad

Dear President,

Several months ago, you reached out for the prime minister of Israel, Mr. Ehud Olmert, asking him to be courageous enough and to respond to your will for peace negotiations between Syria and Israel.

As citizens of Israel and residents of the Middle East we answer your call for courage, and ask you to allow an Israeli delegation of good will and good hope to arrive to Damascus. This delegation will be a first cultural step in a long journey of bringing the neighboring nations closer together.

Our hope is that such a delegation will assist the governments in taking furthermore positive and more courageous steps towards.

Sincerely yours,

Peace seeking Israeli citizens.
