Javier Solana will travel to Syria this week. Israeli officials opposed the visit to Damascus by the European high representative
for external relations, Syria’s first high-level E.U. contact since the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri in 2005. Solana also will visit Saudi
Arabia and Lebanon
on Monday.
