TEL AVIV – Israel has come out openly against the Syrian President Bashr ul Asad and called for his assassination.
An Israeli minister has bluntly called for assassination of Syrian leader Bashar Assad after unsourced media reports claimed Damascus was using a “crematorium” to cover-up mass killings in the war-torn country.
“We are crossing a red line and, in my view, the time has come to assassinate Assad,” said Israeli Housing Minister Yoav Galant, as cited by Haaretz.
He added the “serpent’s head” in Tehran should be dealt with next.
What appears to be the first recorded Israeli threat to assassinate Syrian President Bashar Assad came after the US Department of State alleged, without presenting any hard evidence, that the Syrian government is using “a crematorium” outside Damascus to burn the bodies of people killed by the government.
