Times of Israel/AFP: Israel’s defense minister says Syria’s Assad has won the civil war
'Assad has emerged victorious in the battle,' says Avigdor Liberman. Now there is a 'long line of countries applauding and wooing' him.
Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Tuesday that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has been “victorious” in Syria’s civil war and was now being courted by former enemies.
“Assad has emerged victorious in the battle,” Lieberman told Hebrew media news website Walla!.
“Suddenly, everyone wants to get closer to Assad,” he said.
“I see that there is now a long line of countries applauding and wooing Assad, including Western (and) moderate Sunni Muslim (states).”

WNU Editor: The U.S. is not going to step-up in Syria .... there is no political will in Washington to do that .... nor in the U.S. public. But for Israel .... that is a problem .... it means that they are alone, and they are going to have to make some hard decisions in the coming months/years. And what are those decisions .... the Syrian war is going to end soon, and Iran/Hezbollah/and their Syrian allies are going to be at the border of Israel. What happens then is probably not going to be pleasant.
