’Israel’ Threatens to Act if Syrian WMDs Passed to Hezbollah

’Israel’ Threatens to Act if Syrian WMDs Passed to Hezbollah

The Zionist ambassador to the United States warned Sunday that any evidence of chemical weapons being passed from the Assad regime to “extremist groups” like Hezbollah would be a "game-changer."

Zionist ambassadot to the U.S. Michael OrenThe Zionist ambassador to the United States warned Sunday that any evidence of chemical weapons being passed from the Assad regime to “extremist groups” like Hezbollah would be a "game-changer," and a "red line for Israel”.

The remark comes amid claims that the Syrian regime is mixing and moving the components for the deadly sarin nerve gas. Ambassador Michael Oren said he could not confirm those reports but made clear that the Zionist entity was watching the situation "very carefully."

"Were those weapons to pass into the wrong hands, Hezbollah's hands for example, that would be a game-changer for us," he told Fox News on Sunday. "We have a very clear red line about those chemical weapons passing into the wrong hands."

The Zionist entity's so-called "red line" is different than the United States'. While the former considers the "red line" to be the movement of chemical weapons to “extremist groups”, the Obama administration has said lately that its trigger for action would be any move by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to allegedly use the weapons against the Syrian people.

According to Fox News, sources claimed last week that Syria's military had mixed chemical weapons and loaded them into bombs in preparation for possible use on the Syrian people. But the Zionist Jerusalem Post daily said that Damascus has never confirmed it has chemical weapons and insisted it would never use them against its own people.
