PM: Assad is ‘no longer immune’

June 7, 2018 — Israel National News reports: “Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime is ‘no longer immune’ from retaliation, Prime Minister Netanyahu warned during a visit to London on Thursday.

‘He is no longer immune, his regime is no longer immune. If he fires at us, we will destroy his forces,’ Netanyahu said, speaking at an event organized by the Policy Exchange think tank.

‘I think there is a new calculus that has to take place and Syria has to understand that Israel will not tolerate the Iranian military entrenchment in Syria against Israel,’ he said…” (President al-Assad had better beware – there is a prophecy in Isaiah that has yet to be fulfilled: “The burden of Damascus.  Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap” – Isaiah 17:1.  Damascus is widely believed to be the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world, but God’s Word declares that will end.  See the next report.)
