Syrian minister: We will join conflict if IDF approaches Syria

By News Agencies


MADRID - Syria will enter the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah if Israel 
Defense Forces ground troops enter Lebanon and approach Syria, Syrian 
Information Minister Mohsen Bilal said in an interview published on Sunday.

"If Israel invades Lebanon over ground and comes near to us, Syria will not sit 
tight. She will join the conflict," he told "ABC" newspaper.

U.S. ally Qatar is involved in mediation to end the war between Israel and 
Hezbollah, senior political sources said Sunday.

The sources said Qatar, which has not signed a peace treaty with Israel but 
enjoys friendly ties with it, had intensified its diplomacy in recent days 
directly with Israeli officials and also with Hezbollah through Lebanese 
officials. 

"The Qataris are mediating between Israel and Hezbollah to end the current 
crisis in Lebanon," one senior political source told Reuters. The sources did 
not give details. 

Asked for Israel's reaction, Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said: 
"Qatar is a country that we have met in the past ... If Qatar is working behind 
the scenes to secure the release of the hostages, that is a good thing."

Ministers from France, Germany and Britain are visiting Israel and will hold 
talks with Israeli officials ahead of the arrival of U.S. Secretary of State 
Condoleezza Rice, who heads for the Middle East on Sunday. 

Qatar and European countries have criticized Israel's offensive while the 
United States, Israel's closest ally, has resisted growing calls for a 
ceasefire and joined Israel in blaming the Iranian-backed Hezbollah for the 
crisis.

Ahmadinejad: Israel pushed button of its own destruction
Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadeinejad declared Sunday that Israel had "pushed 
the button of its own destruction" by launching its military campaign against 
Hezbollah militia in Lebanon.

"Israel pushed the button of its own destruction by attacking Lebanon," 
Ahmadinejad told a gathering of education officials.

Ahmadinejad didn't elaborate, but suggested that Islamic nations and others 
could somehow isolate Israel and its main backers, led by the United States. On 
Saturday, the chairman of Iran's armed forced joint chiefs, Major General 
Sayyed Hassan Firuzabadi, said Iran would never join the current Middle East 
fighting.

"Britain and the United States are accomplices of the Zionist regime in its 
crimes in Lebanon and Palestine," Ahmadinejad said.

He said "the people of the region will respond" unless Israel and its allies 
apologize for their policies.

"Arrogant powers have set up a base for themselves to threaten and plunder 
nations in the region," he said. "But today, the occupier regime [Israel] - 
whose philosophy is based on threats, massacre and invasion - has reached its 
finishing line."

In Tehran, the government has sanctioned billboards showing Hezbollah leader 
Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah and a message that it is the duty of Muslims to "wipe 
out" Israel
