The diplomatic “Quartet” working for Mideast peace demanded that Syria close Islamic Jihad offices. The Quartet, which issued a statement Monday after the Palestinian terrorist group claimed responsibility for a deadly bombing in Netanya, reiterated “its demand that the Syrian government take immediate action to close the offices of Palestinian Islamic Jihad and to prevent the use of its territory by armed groups engaged in terrorist acts.” The Quartet, comprising the United States, United Nations, European Union and Russia, condemned the bombing and “all acts of terrorism.”
