Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on sunday said Israel was prepared for “every possible scenario” in Syria after the US delayed a military strike in a surprise move that prompted some Israelis to question their main ally's resolve on Iran.
“Israel is calm and self-assured. Israeli citizens know very well that we are prepared for any possible scenario,” Netanyahu told his Cabinet. “Israeli citizens must also know that our enemies have very good reasons not to test our strength — they know why,” he said. US President Barack Obama has promised to punish the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime over its alleged use of chemical weapons.
