Syria-Israeli peace talks 'too broad for real compromises'
Occupied Jerusalem: Two days of peace talks involving Israel and Syria concluded on Monday and more talks were planned, officials said.
An Israeli official said the talks held in Turkey covered practical matters, without giving details.
Last month Israel, Turkey and Syria announced that indirect negotiations were in progress, with Turkish diplomats shuttling between the two delegations. This was the first round of talks since the announcement.
The Israeli official, who is close to the talks, said the sides agreed to two more rounds with Turkish mediation. He spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks were not public.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry confirmed that the talks were held on Sunday and Monday and said dates were set for the further rounds, without disclosing them.
The Turkish statement said the sides expressed their "common determination to press ahead with the talks and to continue to meet regularly."
