Former Mossad chief: Israel Should Do Its Best to Bring down Syria’s Assad

Former Zionist Mossad chief Meir Dagan said Wednesday that his entity of occupation should be helping those forces trying to oust Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Zionist media reported.

“As the Jewish state, Israel should be happy to see the downfall of those using brutal force against its own people,” Dagan said at President Shimon Peres’s Facing Tomorrow Conference in Jerusalem.

In an appearance on BBC’s HARDtalk program, Dagan noted that as a Jew whose parents survived the so-called Holocaust, “when someone is using the might and force of a country to execute its own citizens, it is against my own morality.”

“Anyone who can raise a voice must do it, especially the State of Israel,” the former top intelligence official in the terrorist entity said.

Dagan also predicted that Assad’s fall would weaken Iran’s regional influence, and also weaken the Lebanese resistance party of Hezbollah, allowing Lebanon “to get to a different political situation.”

“What happens in Syria will impact the most on Lebanon, where Damascus has the most influence, but also will have impact on Jordan and elsewhere,” he went on to say.

Syria was hit by a violent unrest since mid-March 2011, with the Syrian government accuses it is orchestrated by Western and Arab countries, including Turkey and Qatar.
