Israel: IDF Capable of Protecting Country Against Syrian Chemical Weapons Threat
(Times of Israel) Israel's leaders are reportedly unhappy that President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry are citing concern over Israel being hit by Syrian chemical weapons as a means to galvanize Congressional support for a strike against President Assad's regime. Israel's Channel 2 news on Monday quoted a senior Israeli official as saying that the IDF was perfectly capable of protecting Israel from any dangers posed by Assad. Prime Minister Netanyahu has repeatedly said that he sees a low probability of Assad retaliating against Israel for any U.S. strike.
