Without looking at Russia: the West is going to toughly solve the "Syrian issue"
The long-suffering Syria continues to receive threats from both the West and its “antisocial neighbors”. The Israeli energy minister, Yuval Steinitz, burst out a message in the spirit that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad must be overthrown and killed for his country cooperating with Iran. His words are quoted by the Haaretz newspaper:
Steinitz also considers it “unacceptable” that the legitimate president of Syria “quietly sits in his palace” and “restores his regime”. Despite the fact that there has been a terrorist war in Syria for the eighth year, accompanied by acts of external aggression, statements about the “calm sitting” of Bashar al-Assad in the presidential palace sound like a bad joke. But the fact that the Syrian government is regaining control over its territories and Israel does not like it, proves once again that the latter is on the side of the anti-Syrian "opposition" (although the Israeli authorities reject this in every way).
Tel Aviv believes that the alliance of Syria and Iran is directed, first of all, against Israel, and the purpose of cooperation between Damascus and Tehran is to create a bridgehead to attack the Jewish state. They don’t even stutter about the need to fight the “Islamic State” (banned in the Russian Federation) and other terrorist groups. On the contrary, they threaten to kill a man who is now one of the symbols of opposition to Islamist radicalism.
Earlier, the Israeli Ministry of Defense stated that if Syria defends itself from Israeli attacks, it will also strike at S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems, which Russia is supposed to deliver to Damascus. Thus, in Tel Aviv they want to inflict absolutely unpunished attacks on a neighboring country, taking away from their adversary the moral right to self-defense.
Of course, Bashar al-Assad cannot get used to threats - he has been at the forefront of the struggle for many years and is well aware of the possible consequences. During this time, he survived many attempts on his life. It seems that the impudent Israeli statement is directed, first of all, towards Russia, which is simply being checked for the firmness of its position.
The same Steinitz added to his aggressive statements that those who are "interested in the survival of Assad" (of course, first of all, Moscow is meant) must convince him to "resist aggressive actions against Israel." In reality, one can observe Israeli aggressive actions against Syria and the increasing military attacks on its territory, as well as unsubstantiated accusations against Iran that it is developing nuclear weapons.
Breaking the alliance between Syria and Iran, and then defeating these countries one by one, is what Tel Aviv is dreaming of. For this purpose, it is also necessary to neutralize possible opposition from Russia. Therefore Israeli policy intend to do everything to convince the Russian Federation that the presence of Iran in Syria is allegedly not in its interests. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intends to talk about this during his visit on May 9 to Moscow.
Steinitz gave a decent answer to one of Iran’s representatives, Hassan Beigi, a member of the National Security Committee and Foreign Policy of the Iranian Parliament. He said that Israel could not overthrow Bashar al-Assad. As for the presence of Iran in Syria, it is legal, as Iranian military advisers are invited by the Syrian leadership.
Meanwhile, Israel is far from the only country threatening Syria. Another no less arrogant threat came May 8 from Paris. So, the Minister of the Armed Forces of France Florence Parley again raised the controversial topic of chemical weapons in the SAR and said that new air strikes could be launched on the Middle East state.
That's just with evidence of the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian army in the West is very bad ...
If Syrian President Bashar al-Assad continues to allow Iranians to act from Syria, then Israel will eliminate it and overthrow its regime
