(Times of Israel) Michael Bachner - While Iranian entrenchment in Syria is seen in Israel as an acute and critical threat, U.S. officials appear to be downplaying the issue as a minor concern for Washington. "There is a big gap between Washington's talk and their actions," a senior Israeli official told Channel 10 on Wednesday. "It is convenient for the Americans to let us be their proxy against Iran in Syria," he added. "We are very worried." In their meeting at the White House next week, Prime Minister Netanyahu will try to persuade President Trump to take immediate action against Iran in Syria to curb its military spread and diplomatic influence, the report said. Last week, Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan told the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, "There is a need for greater American involvement in making sure that Iran doesn't turn Syria into a puppet state. Every day that Iran entrenches itself in Syria brings war closer. There is no vacuum. If the U.S. chooses not to be a major player in shaping the future of Syria, then others will." 2018-03-02 00:00:00Full Article
