Defense Minister Moshe “Boogie” Ya’alon met with French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius in Yerushalayim and told him that “unconventional weapons are used in Syria by an unconventional regime.”
Ya’alon said to Fabius that “this is not the first time that the regime in Syria is using unconventional weapons. The State of Israel does not intervene in Syria, but will not allow the transfer of chemical weapons to Hezbollah and other terrorist group and will respond to any violation of it sovereignty.”
He added: ““The state of Israel does not intervene in the Syrian civil war,” he said. “We have the red lines we established, and we are living up to them: we will not allow quality weapons to be transferred to Hezbollah and other terror elements. We will not allow the transfer of chemical weapons, and we will respond to any violation of our sovereignty.
“We argue that in the end, we must defend ourselves, by ourselves, and do so with responsibility and sound judgment. We do not expect foreign armies to do this for us.”
