Reuters News Agency reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has discussed openly the Israeli attacks on Syria, describing them as measures to prevent more refugees from fleeing to Europe.
Netanyahu on Thursday said that Israel’s bombing of Iranian-backed Shiite Muslim militias is “helping the security” of European nations. He accused Iran of bringing some 80,000 Shiite fighters to Syria, from countries such as Afghanistan and Pakistan, to “convert” Sunni Muslims in Syria and launch attacks against Israel.
The Israeli leader said that these alleged efforts by Iran are “a recipe for a re-inflammation of another civil war” and that the results “could be millions more that go into Europe,” according to Reuters
“That would cause endless upheaval and terrorism in many, many countries,” Netanyahu added. “Obviously we are not going to let them do it. We’ll fight them. By preventing that, and we have bombed the bases of this, these Shiite militias,” he said.
