Peres: If Syria crumbles, Israel will suffer as consequence
By JPOST.COM STAFF
If Syria doesn't end the civil war raging within it, and recover from the losses the conflict caused, Israel could suffer as a consequence, President Shimon Peres said Monday while touring the Gaza border."The problem is not the border with Syria, but Syria itself. If Syria doesn't recover [from the civil war] and crumbles, it will be a disaster for the Syrian people but not just to them," the president said."I don't see a specific intention [of the Syrian people] to cross the border and attack us, but the fact that what united Syria was lost is a problem for us, for them and for the entire region," Peres continued.
