Some bits from a recent interview with Assad:
"You can assume in any case that these terrorists are fighting for Israel. Even if they are not a regular Israeli army, they are still fighting for Israel. And Israel shares the objectives with Turkey, the United States, France, Britain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other states. They all share the same objective”
“Israel is doing its best to support these terrorists in every place the Syrian army advances. They attack in one way or another in order to provide support to the terrorists and in order to stall the momentum of the Syrian Arab Army in facing them,”
“They do not fight it (terrorism)…The fact of the matter is that they use terrorism as a card to achieve different political agendas, even when this terrorism backfires and claims victims in their own countries. But they do not acknowledge this fact.”
“Europe, or a number of European countries, support terrorists on a large scale, send to Syria tens of thousands of terrorists, or support them directly and indirectly, logistically, with arms, money, political cover, and everything,”
“In general terms, the American policy is based on creating chaos in different parts of the world and creating conflicts among states.”
“Through these conflicts, it secures a foothold through the contradictions and through its proxies who are already there but were able to become prominent because of the new circuмstances. And then it takes part in bargaining in order to secure its interests in that region,”
