President Hafez alAssad said to me that anyone who came to claim a Syrian Jewish bride would be permitted to take the bride with him out of the country. I relayed that message to the large Syrian community in Brooklyn. NY. Nothing much ever came of it. But in 1992. President Assad permitted all the Jews to immigrate out of Syria. My exhortations might have had some effectwho knows as to what that might have been. I consistently would urge President Assad to negotiate with Israel. and he would say that he would not do so but entertained the possibility of negotiations with Israel if sponsored by the big 5: sponsored by the United States. the Soviet Union.
