We are told about it now, to justify the strikes
which were carried out. Nothing else is demonstrated
except mentioning mass media, social media and that video
which is rather ridiculous for specialists.
Mr. President allow me to insist on this point, last night's strikes
are a necessary response given the chemical massacres in Syria.
They are a response in line with law and our political
strategy to put an end to the Syrian tragedy.
Israel fully supports President Trump's decision to act against the use
of chemical weapons in Syria. Israel welcomes the participation
of British Prime Minister Theresa May and French President
Emanuel Macron in this action. I spoke with British Prime Minister
Theresa May last night and I told her that the important international
message of the attack is zero tolerance for the use
of non-conventional weapons. I added that this policy needs to
also be expressed in preventing terrorist states and groups
from having nuclear abilities.
I reiterated that the main element that is subverting the Middle East
more than any other is Iran, and that President Assad must
understand that when he allows Iran and its proxies to establish
a military presence in Syria, he is endangering both Syria
and the stability of the entire region.
I want to tell the Israelis they have to know,
I wrote and picked up my words carefully, they have committed
a great folly and have put themselves into a direct fight
with Iran, the Islamic Republic of Iran.
