Israel prefers Assad: Better devil we know than demons we imagine
Intelligence sources spoke to the London-based newspaper The Times, and said that an intact, but weakened, Assad regime would be preferable for Israel and the entire region.
“Better the devil we know than the demons we can only imagine if Syria falls into chaos and the extremists from across the Arab world gain a foothold there," a senior Israeli intelligence officer in the north of the country said. (Ynet)
