Syrian President Bashar Assad said Israel's attack on the Gaza aid flotilla has increased the chances of war in the Middle East, in a BBC interview on Wednesday.
Assad said that Syria was working to prevent a regional war but he added that there was no chance of a peace deal with the current Israeli administration, which he called a "pyromaniac government".
According to the Syrian president last month's Israeli commando assault on the Free Gaza flotilla in international waters had serious consequences. He noted that the attack on ships attempting to break Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip killed nine Turkish activists.
Israel recently set up an inquiry into the raid after rejecting a UN proposal for an international investigation.

They know Obama won't help at all, so now is their time.
Yeah, right. You're playing with fire your friggin' towel head.
More dead arabs. Imagine the smell.
It might be time to stock up on a few perishables I’ve been putting off...this one has the earmarks to grow big and nasty fast.
The flotillas are an effort to establish casus belli. They are going to war. Syria has been arming her proxies with fresh missiles. The Turks are doing their dance trying to get up the nerve to get in on it.
They know they will never get a better chance than right now. In past wars the US has provided strategic depth to the Israelis, replacing their spent munitions and giving them diplomatic cover. This time, while pretending to be their friend, the US is going to sell them out.
The next middle east war is coming and our role will be to pretend to be on the right side of it while handing Israel over to her enemies.
If you’re a praying man, pray.
Then STFU and bring it, punka$$!!
No kidding. They smell bad enough alive!

There will be a Jewish remnant abroad that can restart Israel in a few decades when the radiocativity dies down. Israel and Jerusalem are eternal. False prophets and those idiot enough to follow them, come and go.
Yet another ‘test’ Barry will fail. Yet, the media weenies will line up obediently to carry the water. I think its good tho b/c now its clear who’s on what side. That’ll be good to reference later.
Israel’s ace in the hole is the large number of small neutron weapons it has.
They could be used to great effect to decimate personnel in a selectable radius. The detonation height above ground determines the kill radius of such weapons. The actual blast itself is typically less then a kiloton, this is not a very powerful blast just a few hundred yards out from the epicenter.
Just 20 tiny neutron devices are worth more than all the stockpiled weapons held by Iran and its proxies.
No residual radiation and no blast damage for biased MSM to show the world.
Make no mistake, Israel will use these weapons if attacked on a wide front that places the nation at great risk.
Your words are very reassuring.
“...has increased the chances of war in the Middle East...”
.
Israel may have to crank up their doomsday machine. I don’t think that the country is ready to be driven into the sea to drown. My money is NOT on Islam.
Syria’s giving up the Palestinian territories they seized?
I pray the IDF can generate lots of secondary explosives in Arab storage areas. May they intercept the rest.
*ping*
Total BS Bashar!
The chance of war in the Middle East prior to the arms smuggling flotilla was 100%.
The chance of war after the arms smuggling flotilla is 100%.
That's not an increase.
With Turkey on their side now - they do....
