GENEVA (Reuters) - The chief Syrian government negotiator at peace talks in Geneva on Monday accused Israel of cooperating with Islamic State and al Qaeda militants in the Golan region, deflecting attention away from the intra-Syrian negotiations.
"This Israeli provocation ... confirms without any doubt the cooperation between Israel and terrorists of Daesch (Islamic State) and Nusra Front on the demarcation line between where the Golan is and U.N. troops are positioned," Bashar Ja'afari told reporters after meeting the U.N. special envoy to Syria.
