’Israel’ Disappointed from Obama over Syria: Damascus, Hizbullah, Iran Capable of Forcing Pace

Local Editor

"Israel" is suffering from Obama's weakness.

A conclusion that found its way to "Israeli" media.

On this level, "Israeli" debkafiles reported that " US President Barack Obama's about-turn Saturday night, Aug. 31 on the planned US military operation against Syria's "chemical weapons" has shaken up the volatile Middle East balance of strength, spelling for "Israel", Jordan and Turkey what Western and "Israeli" military sources called the day after "a military nightmare."

"Syria, Iran and Hizbullah ...have won an unforeseen tactical advantage: President Obama's turn to Congress to authorize that attack gives them at least a fortnight for launching a pre-emptive strike against US forces and its allies," it mentioned.

In parallel, it quoted sources as saying: "Syria and Hizbullah's defenses are already upgraded against the projected US strike and their forces on peak readiness. Rather than hanging around and waiting for the US Congress to go through with a debate, which only starts in the week of Sept. 9, they are fully capable of forcing the pace on their own terms, with the object of getting the US operation cancelled altogether."

Dekafiles went on to say: "Russian President Vladimir Putin, for his part, will not waste the opportunity for pursuing further advanced weapons transactions with Iran and Syria."
A high-ranking "Israeli" office commented Sunday that "the three "hostile" allies, having achieved an indefinite postponement of the American military threat with Moscow's help, can be expected to press their advantage with further diplomatic and military mischief."
"Trouble looms for "Israel", Jordan and Turkey if Russian and Iranian intelligence experts estimate that an aggressive move will strengthen the hands of the US lawmakers opposed to US military intervention in Syria," he added.

Debkafile's military sources revealed also that the government and military command decided in hectic overnight discussions to take no chances. Against possible negative repercussions from the US president's bombshell, they decided to maintain the high state of security and military preparedness along Israel's borders with Syria and Lebanon.

The three-tiered anti-missile system therefore remains in place and the gas mask distributions stations were reopened to the public Sunday morning.

For his part, former "Israeli" army commander summed up the Zionist entity's general mood.
"We have no one to rely upon except for God and our veteran troops," said former "Israeli" army General Uzi Dayan, attacking US President Barack Obama's decision to postpone action on Syria until an official approval from Congress.

Dayan's comments were featured on his Facebook page on Sunday, opening with a statement saying that the "Israeli" government should "continue with its sensible policies" of refraining from a Syrian intervention unless the conflict were to spill in "Israel's" direction.

Regarding "Israel's" relationship with the United States, Dayan pointed out that "Israel" should "strengthen the unity of values, strategic coordination, and mutual respect for one another, and to not divide the American and Zionist common mission."
"The strategic conclusion is not surprising, that is: ‘if I am not for myself, who will be for me'?" he said.

This comes as "Israeli" Channel 2 reported Sunday evening that the White House informed Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in advance of US President Barack Obama's decision to delay military action against Syria until after receiving Congressional approval.
According to the report, which was not sourced, the advanced warning was given to curb "Israeli" criticism.
