Syria is mentally prepared for a peace process, but it is uncertain whether Israel or the United States is ready, Public Security Minister Avi Dichter said during a debate at the Saban Forum in Jerusalem on Monday.

"Many of us are confused between information and intelligence," he said.

"A country that wants to use its military might needs information, but a country that wants to use its political might needs intelligence.

"We have information indicating that Syria is mentally prepared for a peace process with Israel. The question is whether we or the US are prepared for it," Dichter said.
