Lieberman: Assad regime will collapse if Syria provokes Israel

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Thursday warned Syrian President Bashar Assad that if his country provokes Israel, it will not only lose the conflict, but his regime will collapse, Army Radio reported.

"Assad should know that if he attacks, he will not only lose the war. Neither he nor his family will remain in power," Lieberman told an audience at a business conference at Bar-Ilan University.

The Foreign Minister's remarks come after Assad on Wednesday said that Israel was pushing the Middle East toward a new war, during a meeting with Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos in Damascus. Advertisement

"Our message should be that if Assad's father lost a war but remained in power, the son should know that an attack will cost him his regime," Lieberman continued.

"This is the message that must be conveyed to the Syrian leader by Israel," he added.

Funny how most of the riff-raff that surrounds Israel seems to have piped down since Likud took power. :)

Although I wouldn't mind seeing Israel had Assad's rear end back to himself.

Isn't Joe too busy voting for Obama's healthcare power grab to be concerned with any other issue?

You betrayed the American people with your vote Joe. Now shut up.

Perhaps the IDF is going to do just that.

“Whoever thinks territorial concessions will disconnect Syria from the axis of evil is mistaken,” Lieberman said. “Syria must be made to understand that it has to relinquish its demand for the Golan Heights.”

Thank you Avigdor Lieberman. The Golan Heights is NOT negotiable.

It’s about time these Arabs understand that the trade is peace for peace. That’s it.
