Israel will “liquidate” Syrian President Bashar Assad and topple his government if it continues to allow Iran to use Syrian territory to carry out attacks on the Jewish state, an Israeli security cabinet minister has warned.
“If Syrian President Bashar al-Assad continues allowing Iran to operate within Syrian territory, Israel will liquidate him and topple his regime,” Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz told Ynet.
He went on to state that “if Assad lets Iran turn Syria into a military base against us, to attack us from Syrian territory, he should know that will be the end of him.”
Hassan Beigi, a member of the Iranian parliament’s national and foreign policy commission, responded to the minister’s statements later on Monday. “Israel can’t do anything,” he told RIA Novosti, reminding Tel Aviv that Iran has legitimate grounds to operate on Syrian soil, citing an invitation from Damascus.
Steinitz’s bold comments come as Israel reportedly prepares to face a possible retaliatory strike after Syria’s T4 airbase was hit by an airstrike on April 9. Iran blames the strike, which it says killed seven Iranian military advisers and members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, on Israel. Russia has also stated that Israel was behind the attack.
Israel did not initially comment on the attack. However, a senior Israeli official told a New York Times columnist that Tel Aviv was behind the strike. Two US officials also told NBC News that Israel was responsible, saying it informed Washington ahead of time. Damascus has blamed the air-raid on Tel Aviv, calling it a clear “aggression.”
The attack came just two months after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) struck the same military site after claiming an Iranian drone had crossed into Israeli airspace from Syria.
A separate April strike, which also targeted Syrian infrastructure, was not claimed by Israel, but did occur just hours after Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman vowed to protect his country’s national interests, even if it means breaching Syrian airspace.
Tensions between Iran and Israel continue to mount, following a controversial television slideshow presented by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in which he accused Iran of lying about its nuclear program. He claimed that, as a result of the alleged deception, the 2015 nuclear deal is thus null and void. Iran has slammed the move as a “coordinated timing of alleged intelligence revelation by the boy who cries wolf.” It came ahead of a May 12 deadline which will see US President Donald Trump decide whether to extend US sanctions relief for Tehran.
“Israel did not initially comment on the attack. However, a senior Israeli official told a New York Times columnist that Tel Aviv was behind the strike.”
The logos on the planes gave them away… makes it kinda tough to deny.
“If Syrian President Bashar al-Assad continues allowing Iran to operate within Syrian territory, Israel will liquidate him and topple his regime,” Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz told Ynet.”
“And even if he doesn’t, we’ll just fake it, and attack Syria anyway. We’ll get their water one way or another.” he concluded.
That’s how that statement SHOULD have ended, truth be told.
Keep in mind that Israel couldn’t even take Lebanon’s water (under the pretext of fighting Hezbollah in 2006), and Israel won’t get Syria’s, either…that whole “Nile to Euphrates” dictum from God fell by the wayside as Israel refused to obey God and continued to worship false gods…but you’ll never read that in the Talmud!
Bottom line, DL… anyone who has done any serious study of Scripture knows that even if the stinking jews WERE the ‘children of God’s promise’ (which they’re NOT, that was the Hebrews), God repeatedly told them that if they were unfaithful, they would lose not only His favor, but their homeland as well.
They were unfaithful.
Repeatedly.
Israhell to liquidate Assad going to need a big blender.
