RT @BBCKimGhattas: @Ibishblog 2/2 also French annoyed w US abt Syria and trying to get closer to Saudi. Big defense contracts.
RT @BBCKimGhattas: @Ibishblog I'm not sure abt that. French dip complained privately a while back to me that US ready to give too much too soon 1/2

RT @BBCKimGhattas: Talks hit a snag, mostly bcoz of French position. But important to remember this only 2nd round of talks under this Iranian gov #irantalks

RT @emile_hokayem: 2. Many Syrians in state of dejection, desperation, denial, survival mode. Them being on fence works to regime advantage, major opp failure
