Israel is now issuing warnings to Russia, saying they will bomb Assad’s palace if they allow Iran to make military advances in Syria:
CBN NEWS – A senior Israeli official has issued a warning to Russia that the Israeli military will bomb Syrian President Bashar Assad’s palace in Damascus if Russia allows Iran to make military advances in Syria.
The official added another caution in the Al-Hayat al-Jadida newspaper that if regional changes don’t take place in the current advance by Iran, Israel will act to scuttle the Syrian ceasefire deal recently concluded by the U.S. and Russian governments in Kazakhstan.
The warnings came during a meeting last week on the Black Sea between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
According to Reuters, Netanyahu told Putin, “Iran is already well on its way to controlling Iraq, Yemen and to a large extent is already in practice in control of Lebanon.”
He said Israel will act unilaterally if need be to halt Iran’s influence in Syria and added, “We cannot forget for a single minute that Iran threatens every day to annihilate Israel.”
Indeed, Netanyahu said this just today on his Twitter as he meets with the UN Secretary-General
