"Israel" to Join US-Led Military Coalition in Syria for Fear of Chemical Weapons

Local Editor
Israeli soldiersA US-led military coalition is prepared to take military action in Syria if the regime is using chemical weapons against the armed opposition, and this action could include "Israel", the Times reported.

“It’s premature to say what could happen if a decision is made to intervene. That hasn’t taken shape, we’ve not reached that kind of decision. There are a lot of options, but it could be launched rapidly, within days,” the British daily quoted a US official as saying.

“The US intervention would involve Britain and other allies, and could include Turkey and Jordan," the source added.

This comes after Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that “we are monitoring closely, along with the international community, the events in Syria with regard to the chemical weapons stockpiles... these weapons cannot be used or transferred to terrorist organizations.”
