Israel is increasingly concerned that Damascus’s stockpile of chemical weapons could “become a part of the Syrian crisis,” a government official said Monday, explaining comments on the matter Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu made prior to meeting visiting Republican senator-elect Ted Cruz from Texas.

The Prime Minister’s Office issued a statement following the meeting, underlining the chemical weapons issue.

According to the statement, Netanyahu told Cruz – on his first visit to Israel – that Washington and Jerusalem share not only common values, but also common dangers.

“One of these dangers is the unfolding events in Syria,” he said. “We’re monitoring very closely the possibility of the use of chemical weapons in Syria.
