Fred Hof and Israel-Syrian Peace

Via Syria Comment, a translated piece by Israel Policy Forum from Yediot Aharanot on George Mitchell's man on Syria-Israel-Lebanon border issues, Fred Hof, visiting Israel with some fleshed-out proposals. Fred knows the border issues as well as anyone, having done a lot of serious historical work on their history and having worked that field for years, and this is an interesting report, if accurate. One minor quibble: Having known Fred since undergraduate days at Georgetown in the late '60s, and even worked with him for a time in the '90s, I have to tell the translator that it's "Frederic Hof," not "Frederick Hoff." Interesting piece, though, and it sounds quite credible.
