 | | According to Danny Yatom, who headed then-Prime Minister Ehud Barak's political staff at the time, Barak was offering the Syrians a withdrawal from all of the captured Golan Heights down to the Sea of Galilee, except for a small Israeli presence on the east bank of the inland sea. |
 | | To get the Israeli message across, Yatom, currently a Labor Party lawmaker, approached Azmi Bishara in a meeting in the parliamentary cafeteria and sketched the Israeli position on a napkin, Bishara said. |
 | | "(Yatom) tried to say that Israel wants only symbolic control of the shore, in some places just 10 meters (yards), sometimes 200 meters (yards)," Bishara said. |
