Israel, in cooperation with the US and others in the international community, is meanwhile preparing for the possibility of far-reaching changes in the Syrian regime, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said Sunday.
The prime minister, speaking at the outset of the weekly cabinet meeting, said those changes could have “implications” for the “sensitive weapons systems there.” Israel has in recent weeks expressed its serious concern about how changes in Syria will impact upon Damascus’s huge stockpile of chemical weapons, and how these weapons could become a part of the Syrian crisis.
Netanyahu told the cabinet there were “dramatic developments” in Syria now “about every day.”
Israel has increasingly been relaying the message to all actors in Syria that the fate of the chemical weapons is a “very sensitive issue” not only for Israel, but for the entire international community.
