For
the past two-and-a-half years, Israel has been doing an exemplary job
of securing the first interest. According to media reports, the IDF has
conducted numerous strikes inside Syria to prevent the transfer of
advanced weaponry, including missiles from Syria to Hezbollah.
Rather
than assist Israel in its efforts that are also vital to US strategic
interests, the US has been endangering these Israeli operations. US
officials have repeatedly leaked details of Israel's operations to the
media. These leaks have provoked several senior Israeli officials to
express acute concern that in providing the media with information
regarding these Israeli strikes, the Obama administration is behaving as
if it is interested in provoking a war between Israel and Syria. The
concerns are rooted in a profound distrust of US intentions,
unprecedented in the 50-year history of US-Israeli strategic relations.
