Israel openly acknowledges its role in recent events in Syria

The Israeli leadership does not conceal its involvement in the recent events in Syria and explicitly acknowledges it, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said during a briefing.

"The Israeli leadership speaks openly about its role in these events. Of course, I repeat, there are additional factors, but this is a directly and publicly stated position of the Israeli leadership regarding its involvement in the events in Syria. They don’t even attempt to hide it," the diplomat said.

According to Zakharova, the United States has also exacerbated the situation in Syria, deliberately imposing sanctions against the country and its people for many years.
