The pending Geneva peace conference on Syria appears further in doubt after months of delay. On Sunday, the opposition Syrian National Coalition said a timetable for the departure of President Bashar al-Assad remains a precondition for its involvement. The coalition also rejected the inclusion of Iran at the negotiating table. The Syrian government, meanwhile, accused Secretary of State John Kerry of interference for publicly backing a handover of power.
