On Tuesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov confirmed that the most recent ceasefire announcement did not involve any commitment for Russia to force Iran out of Syria, saying that Iran can maintain a legitimate presence in Syria.
This isn’t sitting well with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who urged the world to unite and force Iran out of Syria at all costs. Now, he’s saying Israel is prepared to act alone to ensure Iran has no permanent presence there.
The narrative of Iran even wanting a “permanent” presence in Syria seems to be more or less wholly an Israeli creation, based on reports of building at a Syrian military facility somehow being extrapolated to it being an “Iranian base.”
Iran’s presence in Syria is vastly overstated at any rate, and rests on the assumption that all of the Shi’ite militias fighting alongside Assad in Syria, militias which come from all over the world, are “Iranian” forces, as opposed to just combatants in the sectarian conflict.
Israel’s standard for “no Iranians” in Syria has effectively been broadened to include the Syrian government at any rate, and the pledge to act alone suggests Israel is moving closer to joining the Syrian War outright.
Israel without US troops & money? No chance.

It’ll be Netanyahu’s self fulfilling prophecy before he’s done..
It was just announced that the US military will stay in Syria even after ISIS is destroyed in Syria. No wonder Bibi is feeling his oats – he knows that Uncle Sucker will be on the scene to do the major bleeding and the spending in Israel’s attacks upon Iran. It may be perverse to speak this way, but when Iran gives our troops a black eye someday, I hope we take our frustration out on fascist Israel – they will deserve it.
If I were Russian, I´d blast the US out of Syria!
Nutty Yahoo is a liar, fraud, a moocher & a war-criminal. He gets standing ovations from Senate & House Republicans.
It just goes to show how honest the politicians in the senate are: AIPAC bought them, and they are staying bought.
Israel won’t do a damned thing except order the USA to do its bidding.
This looks like a job for the dull-witted Golem.
Yeah, Netanyahu. You and whose army? Oh, I forgot. You and your puppet America.
Do you remember, when Israel raided Lebanon
in 2006? Israel attacked with lots of merkava tanks,
but some Lebanese (Hezbolla) juveniles on mopeds or
barefoot in the desert sand equipped with some
Russian bazookas SHOWED THEM THEIR WAY HOME!
Doesn’t Syria, as a sovereign nation, have a right to decide who has bases in their country? My wildest dreams have Russia stepping in and b**ch slapping that apartheid practicing parasite.
So Bibi wants to go toe-to-toe with combat-hardened Syrian Forces and the Russian Air Force… God luck with that !!!
OK why was my post not put up but held for moderation
Thank you
Bibi also wants to go toe-to-toe with combat-hardened Hezbollah paramilitary forces as well, Steve .. Good luck with that, too. He’s a complete lunatic, that’s all I can say. The USSA should have nothing to do with that demon, dismantle that base in Israel and cut off all aid, both financial and military. No USSA base should’ve been set up in that ultra-rogue state in the first place. Who’s idiotic idea was it? Whoever it was needs to be kicked out yesterday.
Henry Kissinger, who had been Secretary of State under the late Richard Nixon, predicted the end of Israel within ten years around 3 years ago; that brings the time left at 7 years .. That is, if Bibi doesn’t go completely nuts and orders his IDF forces to attack Hezbollah in Syria. He’s threatened to do so already.
One can only hope that the vile and terrorist deeds of Israel are met with a brutal resolve from Syria and iran. The Zionist menace will die upon the sword it uses instead of diplomacy.
Right. Hey Bibs, I guess with that statement you can call off your bitches at AIPAC and while your at it, tell Trump he can take our 3 billion in aide we give to your coffers and shove it. Am I right? I bet that white phosphorous you drop on the Palestinians isn’t cheap is it?
Please please get Israel to withdraw from Syria (including Golan Heights), from Lebanon, which it overflies very often, from the Occupied Palestinian territories, from the US Congress, which it owns almost 100%, from providing spying and weapons to nearly every nation on earth.
Israel has to control the Golan heights other wise Syria will put guns up there and shoot at Israel ..We don’t want that to happen again .
ght. Hey Bibs, I guess with that statement you can call off your lobby at AIPAC and while your at it, tell Trump he can take our 3 billion in aide we give to your coffers and shove it. Am I right? I bet that white phosphorous you drop on the Palestinians isn’t cheap is it?
The best thing that could ever happen to America and the World is for i$rael to be vaporized….
I think that would be the worst thing that could happen . Where do come to this conclusion are you a NAZI or a mad Islamic extremist .
Can’t think of anything positive or constructive that i$rael has contributed to humanity? Can you?
Put up or shut up. Hezbollah handed them their butts on a plate last time they rolled out, so let’s see how you do against troops who have been putting down jihadists for years. /popcorn
If Hizzbollah won they destoy Israel
Your Holiness,
it´s too late! In the meantime – it really
is so mean! – Iran, operating from
Syrian bases, has undermined half of
Israel and placed nuclear devices there!
High alert! Time is running out!
ARMAGEDDON IS WAITING!
Do your duty and start World War III !
Thank YOU very, very much!
