Netanyahu says “Israel” has no interest in confronting Syria

“Israeli” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that “Israel” is not interested in a confrontation with Syria, days after he ordered troops into the UN-patrolled buffer zone on the Golan Heights.

"We have no interest in confronting Syria. Israel's policy toward Syria will be determined by the evolving reality on the ground," Netanyahu said in a video statement, one week after Syrian opposition toppled president Bashar al-Assad.
