An opportunity

Am writing from Jerusalem. We met the Deputy Defence Minister, Ephraim Sneh, who confirmed to us what he said to the Jerusalem Post two days ago - that Israel wanted the capability to take out Iran's nuclear bomb making facilities.

But I doubt they'll do it. And I doubt America has the energy for the task either. Iranian hegemony is total. Unless that is that the USA decides to pull all the stops out to seduce Syria and pressure Israel to open discussions on the Golan. that would break the strong grip of Iranian influence in the region. It may happen. More possible now than at any time in recent years. Syria needs to play its cards with great perspicacity. This is a CHANCE IT SHOULD NOT MISS.
