Israel is ready to destroy the Syrian warehouses of WMD, the United States against
The rapid escalation of the Syrian crisis increases the risk that in the near future Damascus may lose control over the arsenal of chemical and biological weapons. The army of free Syria has formed a group whose goal is to ensure the safety of weapons of mass destruction. However, the international community fears that it will fall into the hands of terrorists.
In July, the Syrian army began redeploying chemical weapons. This was followed by a tough US reaction that warned Bashar al-Assad about the consequences of using weapons of mass destruction against civilians. However, American intelligence sources believe that the purpose of this measure is to prevent weapons from falling into the hands of opponents of the regime.
Representatives of the US administration told The New York Times that the United States and Israel are conducting ongoing consultations on the Syrian issue. According to the publication, the IDF has prepared a plan to destroy the Syrian arsenals of weapons of mass destruction, but Washington fears that the Israeli intervention will rally the Syrians around their president.
The British Daily Telegraph writes that Thomas Donilon, US presidential adviser on national security, visited Jerusalem the other day. He tried to dissuade the Israeli leadership from the attack of Syria. The newspaper reminds that when it comes to a threat to existence, Israel acts without regard for the international community.
20 July Minister of Defense Ehud Barak gave an interview to Israeli television. He said that Israel would use military force to prevent weapons from falling into the hands of terrorist groups, which could change the regional balance of power.
“Syria has modern anti-aircraft missile systems, ground-to-ground missiles and chemical weapons. I have instructed the IDF to prepare for a situation when it is necessary to consider the possibility of an attack,” he told the Second TV Channel.
Both in Israel and in the US, we are confident that the Assad regime has not yet lost control of weapons of mass destruction. Jerusalem and Washington consider it unacceptable to fall into the hands of terrorists. However, the US administration and the Israeli government hold opposing views on what needs to be done to avoid this.
The US is convinced that the problem can be solved by starting the process of transferring power to the interim government. Israel believes that after the overthrow of Assad, Syria will turn into a state that has collapsed for a long time. Under the conditions of anarchy, the central government cannot avoid getting weapons of mass destruction in the hands of terrorists.
