How the Turks deceived the Americans on Syria
[Ynet] The US simply joined the Russian-Turkish party in Syria, essentially allowing Assad's rule to continue--at least for now--and Iran and Hezbollah to establish their hold on the war-battered country. This is the worst possible outcome for Israel.The Americans are now selling out the Syrian Kurds to the Turks--but we've already gotten used to their cynical foreign policy. What Israel is having a hard time getting used to, however, is the fact its biggest ally is completely disregarding Israeli interests in the Middle East. Over the past two years, since the international intervention in Syria began, Western diplomacy has been trying to convince allies in the world to cooperate with the minorities in Syria. Alongside the Kurds and Druze, who are the two larger minority groups, there are other ethnic-religious groups in Syria who are demanding autonomy. Posted by: trailing wife 2016-09-04 |
