Al-Seyasah: Israeli warning to Syria
Syria-Israel, Politics, 12/11/2002

The Kuwaiti daily al-Seyasah said that the Israeli ambassador in Washington had handed over the US Department Of State last Saturday an Israeli warning to Syria calling in it to withdraw all sorts of anti- armored vehicles and other equipment missiles and weapons which it had given to the Hizbullah party, otherwise Syria will be responsible for the Israeli reactions over using these weapons against Israel.

The paper quoted a German diplomat as saying that the last warning to Syria came, giving a certain period of time for compliance for the first time in the history of the Israeli warnings to Syria. A matter which gives the impression that Israel will carry out a large - scale military operation on its northern borders amid the atmospheres of the American preparations to attack Iraq and not after that.

Meantime, European diplomatic sources expressed their conviction that Sharon's recent threats might not be for "consumption," rather constituting a base for a large scale land and air attack that will target Lebanon and certain Syrian areas, noting that the land attack will be only stopped at the border of al-Leitani river and that the security belt which Israel will attack will end by ending its mission, namely expelling members of the Hizbullah party and organizations to Syria and Iran, under international agreements.
