As-Safir Newspaper: Syrian Opposition Figures Meet Zionist Israel’s Friends in Paris

The Lebanese newspaper As-Safir on Tuesday said that the meeting held on Monday at Cinema St. Germaine in Paris under the name of “popular movement in Syria” was organized by La Regle du Jeu (The Rule of the Game) magazine and website which is headed by Bernard-Henri Levy, one of the staunchest defenders of Zionist Israel along with other French figures that can only be described as Israel’s friends in France.

The meeting was attended by Syrian opposition figures who are supported by zionist Israel including members of Antalya Conference executive office Omar al-Azem, Ahd al-Hini, Abdel Ilah Melhem, Lama Atassi, Ammar al-Qorabi, Sundos Souleyman et Adib al-Chichakli.

The article pointed out that former French Minister of Foreign Affairs Bernard Kouchner, who was one of Israel’s biggest supporters in the French Ministry, was present, alongside other defenders of Israel such as philosopher Andre Glucksman, Frederic Encel who is known for his racist anti-Arab stances, and other pro-Israel figures, in addition to former Israeli Knesset member and assistant of Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak.

The meeting’s goals of destabilizing security in Syria to serve Israel was made quite apparent by Kouchner’s statement, who said that there is a need for weakening Iran, Syria and Hezbollah, and resorted to provoking sectarianism by talking about majorities and minorities in Syria and “the need to protect Christians because they are the ones being killed the most” according to his claims.

Kouchner also called for turning international public opinion against Syria and resorting to the Security Council to find an excuse for a military strike against Syria.

In turn, Bernard-Henri Levy said that La Regle du Jeu will provide space in its magazine and website for “videos from across Syria.” He also vowed to work with Syrian opposition figures to “bring down the regime in Syria” on behalf on the magazine’s editors.
