Rasa News Agency Reports according to Al-Menar news channel – The deputy chief of Israel's spy agency, insisted that Israel must try its best to overthrow the Syrian regime, because, from the strategic point of view, the end of Bashar Al-Assad regime is in the benefit of Israel.

He added that the Assad overthrow has so many benefits. One of the benefits would be the end of the connections between Iran and Hezbollah and weakening Iran's regional situation and Hezbollah's influential power over the events of the region.

Mier Dagan emphasized that Israel shouldn't be afraid of an anti-Israel Islamic government to be replaced with the current regime, because the Saudi Arabia and the countries of the Persian Gulf region will try to empower governments in Syria that are so-called moderate.

On the other hand, the member of the Knesset for the Labor Party and the deputy minister of defense for Israel, Benyamin Fuad Ben-Eliezer, is hopeless for what he calls the international communities non-activeness in dealing with Syria, and is criticizing the usage of non-classic weapons in the country.

He also claimed that Israel must be ready to influence in Syria, because there is no doubt that if the Syrian chemical weapons reach Hezbollah and the so-called "terrorist organizations", they won't hesitate in using them against Israel.

Eliezer also exaggerated the Syrian government's chemical weapons, insisting that the Isreal's security is in danger and the threats are not [coming] from a faraway country, rather it's from the bordering countries. Thus, the Israeli intervention in what goes on in Syria is necessary.

It's worth saying that after the heavy defeat of the terrorists, fighting the Syrian army, and after the Israeli officials' and some regional regime's failure in overthrowing the Bashar Al-Assad regime, Israel is trying to stimulate Washington and other allies of the country for a war against Syria.
