Israel Will Defend Itself Against Iran in Syria
(JNS) Israel Kasnett - Maj.-Gen. (ret.) Yaakov Amidror, a former Israeli national security advisor, discussed America's pullout from Syria with the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations Leadership Mission to Israel on Monday in Jerusalem. "We should concentrate on how to handle Israeli policy and not American policy. They will make their decisions. America was in Syria to fight ISIS - not Iran....The day America pulls forces out of Syria, Iran will open a land corridor from Iran to Syria and this will make weapons transfers much easier for Iran. We need to focus on solutions to this new situation. We don't want America to do the job for us....We don't expect anyone to fight for Israel. Israel will defend itself, by itself."
