Speaking at the fifth Israel-Greece-Cyprus summit held in the southern city of Beersheba on Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to intensify military action in Syria after the White House’s unexpected order for all US troops to pullout out of the country — an effort that’s expected to be complete within months.
“We will continue to act in Syria to prevent Iran’s efforts to militarily entrench itself against us. We are not reducing our efforts, we will increase our efforts. I know that we do so with the full support and backing of the US,” Netanyahu said. The prime minister further revealed he was personally warned in advance that the American pullout was imminent during during phone conversations with President Trump on Monday and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Tuesday.

Netanyahu has long lobbied the White House to take more aggressive action inside Syria while also praising and pledging support for all past US bombings targeting Damascus and the Syrian Army. Israeli officials have for years touted claims of Iran “taking control” and becoming deeply “entrenched” in Syria — something a number of analysts have doubted given that Damascus’ secular Baathist political ideology doesn’t mesh with Iran’s hardline theocratic Shi’ism, beyond being close strategic allies confronting regional threats (namely the Sunni Gulf-NATO-Israeli axis).
The prime minister also addressed ongoing IDF operations to destroy “attack tunnels” Hezbollah dug along the northern border, saying “These tunnels were built by Hezbollah with direct support and funding from Iran.” Continuing his well-known Iranian expansion theme, Netanyahu continued: “This is the Iranian web of aggression in the Middle East, which also terrorizes Europe and the entire world. Israel continues its operation against the terror tunnels and will do so until its completion. As we speak, we are employing means to neutralize these tunnels.” Netanyahu noted that his prior phone call with Trump this week focused on countering the Iran threat in the region.
Notably US officials said Thursday that the Pentagon will likely halt the air campaign targeting ISIS once all troops are pulled out. Trump had declared American victory over ISIS the day prior. He wrote via Titter: “Does the USA want to be the Policeman of the Middle East, getting NOTHING but spending precious lives and trillions of dollars protecting others who, in almost all cases, do not appreciate what we are doing?” And added. “Do we want to be there forever? Time for others to finally fight.”
The President also said that US troops should leave and that “others” should handle the terror threat inside Syria. While he explicitly suggested that US “enemies” Iran, Russia, and Syria should be left to deal with fighting ISIS remnants, could the president also have had increased Israeli action in mind when it comes to the Iran threat in Syria?

Despite Netanyahu’s latest provocative vow to “increase our efforts” in Syria, his threat has significant limits in terms of what Israel can actually do, given Moscow’s recently completing delivery of its feared S-300 anti-air defense systems to Damascus. Additionally Syrian and Russian officials have of late signaled Damascus will retaliate in equal measure against any military attack.
Without doubt any new Israeli attack on Syria, which would likely be launched by jets flying above Lebanese airspace (as with all recent attacks), would be met with a serious Syrian and possibly Russian response.
This would be a lovely Turkey shoot,and make a great Christmas present to the people of the Earth.Go ahead nutandyahoo,,you mass murderer,what are you waiting for?the US cavalry?lol.
Fact of the matter is that the Zionist swine are scared shitless as sugar daddy Americunts have had enough and are leaving the Zionist child killers to fend for themselves as regional power dynamics have shifted. Even the Turks are now fed up with Zionist crimes against Palestinians and humanity. I would love to see the Zionists attacks Syria in sheer hubris and miscalculation and commit suicide. The swine are just yelping and will not do a thing as they full well know the consequences. Zionist hot air is based on Hollywood fantasies and each day makes them weaker than a spider web.
These morons does not know that this time Russia is fully supporting Syria and Israel supporting Ukraine. The Israel a little mistake will take entire Israeli terror organization to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea.
Actually there is a warmongering Rand corporation study “unlimited wars of the future” which more or less confirms Zionist scums military deterioration after decades of beating up armed women and children of Occupied Palestine. The Zionist occupation cowards are not capable of fighting a long sustained war with any determined opponent now, including small Hamas, let alone battle tested Hezbollah or SAA. Even if the Zionist parasites mustered all the gay cupcakes and lesbians from the Tel Aviv mardi gras, they simply do not have enough reserves to fight a multi-front asymmetrical war of cities for more than 3 weeks at most. The total Zionist faggot military age pool is 2.7 million and as Syrian terror war has shown that can be eaten up in a few weeks. The Americunts, Zionists and NATO arselickers trained over 360,000 headchoppers for terror in Syria backed up by US and NATO poodles and still lost, thanks to Shia motivated militias, Hezbollah and IRGC mobilization. Now there are over 4 million battle tested Shia forces in the region and how will the Zionist scum face them? their Americunt sugar daddy or NATO faggots are not going to die for a lost cause, they have enough problems at home as France and Belgium implosions are demonstrating.
Economy play a good role in defeat of US and European countries. Their market share went down suddenly.
More of the Nethanyahoos howling to express an inept Zionist relevance, since they have to fight their own wars themselves. Trump is for Make America great again, not make Israel great again. The zionists in Washington have not figured this thing out.
They should have a serious talk with their god!Since he keeps on punishing them, they must be doing something wrong!
The zio terrorist jews God is Lucifer
Disagree, ’tis Satan
Exactly..
jews are running beserk right now….false flag jew .terror attacks coming up in europe and elswhere…and i would not bet a 100 dollars in vegas on donald beiing alive in 2020……….just as the jews murdered JFK, due to dimona, donald is in for JFK 2.0………….now what made him change course by 180 degrees is anyones quess….who knows…..but this makes him a prime target.. first politically……and as history has shown…if that dont work ……boom , a lone crazy assassin.All folks that intend to go against the jewish agenda have a short life span.donald aint gonna be different….unless ofcourse he changes course again by 180 degrees
Could not have said it any better… I hope the zio terrorist jews….children of Lucifer, tries attacking Syrian or areas with Russian personnel now…so they can retaliate and flatten isrealhell infrastructure…
Trump will be alive in 2020, you are marginalizing him and magnifying what the zionists can do against him. You forget what Trump can do to the zionists if he chooses that course of action.
I hope that Trump will arrest the Deep State of the US. Time will tell.
Don’t count on a slave revolt.
No need for slave revolt, just slave support.
That is 99% of the World….if they wake up…the Elites are all DEAD….
There is such a thing as Jewish Zionist complacency based on hubris and self aggrandizement, you see Israel in that mode, US zionists are not much different.
The British ones are the same Jesus.
Do you know the Jews on Wall Street ruined US because of their greed and outsourced most manufacturing in Asia? If Trump wants to pick on Jews and deal harshly with them, he has a reliable and resonating message and half the country will agree with him.
Well said. Across the globe as well.
And I would suspect that a ‘Lone Assassin’ would have a shiny new Iranian passport placed on his chest by Mossad after Trump was murdered :)
Jews are like puffer fish: they fill up with hot air to appear big and mighty.
Even puffer fish have some redeeming features, the Zionist swine are infected parasites who have attached themselves to humanity and contaminating the whole planet. Only was to cleanse earth is to eradicate these vermin.
Ant attempt by Israeli Air Force to attack targets inside Syria, whether launched from inside Israel or from Lebanon will be met by equal and greater response attacks against Israeli Military Targets within Israeli Borders. BiBi is, therefore, seeking to trigger a war between Syria and Israel because he and his rabid attack-dogs within the Israeli Government have lost. The real danger to the Syrian War coming to an end is not Turkish-Ottoman Erdogan’s expansion plans but rather, Jerusalem’s many psychoses.
As usual talking thru his nose. Air raids have no significant effect on Iranian activities
what effing joke trump is saying the defeated ISIS? I donT recall the doing F-ALL UNTILL THE RUSSIANS CAME?
not likely but I suppose it’s back to cowardly and cheap attacks against various installations or officals, like they’ve been engaged in before – trust these scums are caught and then quickly brought to justice and then no pardon but gruesome punishment (incarcerated together with pigs). otherwise, israel finds itself between a rock and hard place with no mercy from anyone. think this will be the undoing of israel and subsequently the total discontinuation of the country, a number of countries that at one stage recognized israel now reverts their previous decision and de-recognize the state of israel and closing of embassies and a total boycott entailing commercial as well as financial sectors – no more buyers of jaffa oranges or soda streams whatsoever.
can’t happen soon enough!
Israel is in total desperation. Now, as Trump tells Israel that the US will no longer fight and impoverish itself on behalf of fighting for Israel. Now come the Israel provocations on Syria while US is still illegally occupying Syria. What are Israel’s options to thwart US military withdrawal? 1) provoke Syrian retaliation on Israel 2) an attack on US troops by Al Qaeda terrorist 3) Provoke regime change in Washington 4) Provoke capital flight out of the US and manipulate financial markets 5) Another 911 false-flag terrorist attack on US soil.
Option 4……..Trump must go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How does a guy intensify ‘zero’
??
Geniuses seldom differ….Lol
So IsraHell going to go from 0.0 attacks to 0.000000000001? Bring it on..
Intensify what attacks? Since Syria upgraded their defense systems, Israel has been as quiet as a mouse. Russia has given Israel fair warning that if Israel attacks, their planes will be shot down.
Mister SatanYahoo…I’d like to remind you that we are still waiting for your IDF-IAF-Kidkilling Airforce to make a little S-300 Test-Run….so let your Pilots change their Diapers and Send in Your Birdies….
Netanyahu is a compulsive liar, why anybody pays any attention to his outbursts is beyond me.
LOL…Satanyahoo is going to do exactly diddly…same as he’s been doing for the last two months, ever since the S300s arrived…
“Does the USA want to be the Policeman of the Middle East, getting NOTHING but spending precious lives and trillions of dollars protecting others who, in almost all cases, do not appreciate what we are doing?” And added. “Do we want to be there forever? Time for others to finally fight.”
That statement could be perceived as a direct critique of the entire foreign-policy push of the US based Neo-Con clique and Israeli lobbyists since 2001. There is going to be angry tantrums and meltdowns within these factions – they do not respond well to the word ‘no’.
Americunt economy is bankrupt and heading for recession in about 6 months or so. Trump for all his faults knows the cost of US lost wars and is being forced to see reality. The Jew scum and British devious queers want to focus on a conflict with Russia now over Ukraine. Bolton the senile faggot with no military experience is the main proponent of the Zio-war lobby now.
Bring it on you hooked nosed inbred POS…..GOD, I hate your Zionist freak show, for me it is about time you are all eliminated.
