Syria regime change in world’s interest: Israel
JERUSALEM - Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom said on Friday it was in the world’s interest to have a regime change in Syria, which he accused of being “up to its neck” in terror. “Our interest is to tell the world that Syria is implicated up to its earlobes neck in terrorism, a terrorism that is directed not just against Israel but against coalition forces in Iraq,” he told public radio.

“And this is why it is in the interest of the entire world that there is another state in Syria, one that is freer and more democratic,” said Shalom.

Asked whether he believed that the end was nigh for Assad’s regime, Shalom said that only time would tell. “The future will tell us if this regime is close to the end or not. But there is no doubt that Assad has achieved something amazing: uniting the whole world against Syria,” said Israel’s top diplomat.

Shalom stressed that Israel would avoid becoming embroiled in the political turmoil of its northern neighbour. “Israel has no intention of getting involved in what is happening over there as the entire international community is already on the case.”
"We'll just start the snowball rolling down the hill and see what happens."
