Occupied Jerusalem: Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert dispatched two top aides to Turkey on Tuesday for a fourth round of indirect peace talks with Syria, an Israeli official said.
Israel and Syria launched Turkish-mediated peace talks in May but have not yet agreed to hold face-to-face negotiations.
The long-time foes will decide during the fourth round whether to move to direct talks starting in August, Turkish officials said.
