“The situation is extremely explosive. Unlike the former years, we are facing a very radical government, which is one hand quite powerful, and on the other very fragile, because the most radical parts of it are pushing for action that might turn out into a catastrophe. The scenes from the Al-Aqsa mosque were scenes not seen in recent years in their brutality and I think that any small match can set fire now to the whole area. Hopefully it will not happen, but nobody can guarantee this will not happen. There is no public argument about this [raids in Syria] in Israel and no information about it in Israel. Nobody knows why and what form and what is the price. One thing is clear. Israel is violating Syrian sovereignty and Israel is playing with fire with Iran. How long will the Syrians and the Iranians tolerate this?”
