And israel now wants a stake in the future of syria and thats why the us to stay in there because they want a stake in the future before we go to break let me just look at it from another angle i mean they keep talking about israels security well before the syrian war the golan hates was the quiet backwater always israel to lose groups take the syrian territory they.
