Outgoing Meretz chairman Yossi Beilin on Friday urged Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to accept Russia's proposal to hold an peace conference in Moscow which would focus on kick-starting negotiations between Israel and Syria.
Beilin called the offer by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov an "important initiative" saying such a conference would "increase the chances of peace between Israel and Syria as well as with Lebanon," Israel Radio reported.
