In February, Syrian President Bashad Assad hosted President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Damascus. Afterward, Hizbullah's online magazine suggested that war with Israel was on the horizon. Damascus' support for "resistance" was on full display at the Arab Summit in Libya in late March, where Assad urged Palestinian leader Mahmou dAbbas to abandon U.S.-supported negotiations and "take up arms against Israel."
