Assad: US, Israel are conspiring in Middle East

Syrian President Bashar Assad said during his meeting Saturday with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that “Israel and the United States are conspiring a scheme in the region and one should stay on alert in this matter.”

“The Zionist regime is not strong and the countries can obtain their rights by practicing resistance and determination,” Assad added, calling the prisoner exchange deal with Hizbullah “one of the resistance forces' achievements.” (Dudi Cohen)
