This is barely being reported on the MSM and yet it’s developing into a major clash. The recent Arab summit in Damascus was a flop and left Syria with a lot of anger and embarrassment. The Israelis have openly admitted to bombing that mystery installation in Syria for being a nuclear bomb assembly factory set up by the North Koreans. This ruination of their plans has naturally outraged the Syrians.
At the same time, many Arab states are exasperated with Syria for their continued support of Hizbollah in Lebanon and their efforts to control that country. The other Arab states want Lebanon left alone. To make this point, few of them sent representatives to the summit and most of those were low-level people, which also was a major insult to Syria.
The Saudis and other Arab nations are literally scared to death of Iran having the A-Bomb and now the USS Abraham Lincoln Strike Force is heading for the Persian Gulf, to join up with nuclear submarines already there. The US has recently positioned an array of Aegis destroyers, which excel in ballistic missile defense, close to its Persian Gulf allies and Israel, ready to intercept Iranian and Syrian missiles.
This while Israel has begun its largest ever emergency response drill this week, “to help authorities assess Israel’s preparedness in dealing with national emergencies — particularly in the event of multiple chemical or conventional missile attacks.”
