Brookings Report: "President Obama: Talk to Iran & Syria ..."

"If you're moving on the Israeli-Palestinian front, in Tehran they might feel they're left behind, and react with terrorist attacks. This time is really important to engage them in making the new order, to make clear we're not trying to isolate them, but to engage them", the report states.
Former United States Ambassador to Israel and Brookings Institution member Martin Indyk called for Obama to pursue talks with Iran, saying "they are willing to engage and we must find a way to engage them more seriously."
The report also calls for advancing the Arab-Israeli peace process on both the Palestinian and Syrian tracks..."
