in syria the situation is not like that. of course power sharing would be much better and a political transition something that the americans and europeans are still calling for but realistically i don't see that there may be some form of political process russia's certainly is calling for that but there is no real pressure for it and in the end this just going to say no and who is going to force we're going to take a short break right now when we're back we'll continue talking to use tell german men a program director at the international crisis group. you know world big part of the law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now. watching closely watching the hawks. as an officer. told them to get up off the ground the officer began to pet him down . and then place on

an attack inside into syria almost a week ago and then syria responded and then the golan and then there was a further attack syria it went in with 2 more rockets into the golan and we're seeing what we're seeing right now and so this thing has been escalating rather rapidly and i think of the timing is impeccable because of but internal politics with netanyahu who who's who has to form a new government in fact there's going to be new elections and on top of all that we have a percent of building toward. u.s. forces and in the going after a position to itself to go after iran so all of this is very calculated this is not accidental and the lesson until these the israeli start prop stop probably katie this is this is only going to escalate now syria has a right to protect its own sovereignty and if it's being attacked it has a right to respond but but you're not hearing that aspect when it comes to the western media and the this is very disturbing so what extent indeed think the u.s. recognition of the golan heights israeli territory has been inflamed the situation has. well i think it wa

said it had responded to 2 missiles fired from syria into the disputed golan heights according to syria that israeli bombardment killed 3 people to the south of damascus syria and israel have been locked in a half century confrontation over the golan heights the area was seized by israeli forces during a war in 1967 and was later by israel but he's still considered by the un to be syrian territory. israel has repeatedly accused syria of hostile military activity in the golan heights on saturday prime minister benjamin netanyahu said his country would not tolerate any firing into his territory well to film the pentagon security analyst and an antiwar activist for their views on the latest escalation. this all started when israel on its own initiated. an attack inside into syria almost a week ago and then syria responded and then the golan and then there was a further attack syria went in with 2 more rockets into the goal line and we're seeing what we're seeing right now so this thing has been escalating rather rapidly and israel has no right to do what it's doing and if in fact that matt

retaliation to 2 missiles that were fired from syria at the israeli part of the golan heights there were no reports of injuries or damage on the israeli side but we are hearing from the israeli cabinet that it was the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu who posts in the ordered these retaliate tree strikes now it comes as the israeli army issues a statement in which it says its planes and helicopters hit 2 artillery batteries and a defense battery and also a number of observation points along the israel syria border syrian state media is reporting it that 3 syrian soldiers were killed and an additional 7 injured this happening in the eastern part of the connector country side all of this is happening as tensions between israel and syria escalate particularly in the area of the golan heights now earlier in the week jarrett krishna who is the son in law and also the senior advisor to the american president donald trump was in jerusalem where he gifted netanyahu with a map that had been personally signed by the american president and that clearly showed the golan heights as part

it has the stabilization of syria. if the west does, the middle east does. everyone but russia has to pay for it. i think that that sort of shows you the difference between sort of great power approaches. this is not very useful because i think so long as the assad regime behaves as it does, there is not going to be spublt even if they have won the battle. there are not going to be stability. think we have to -- did indicate that our middle east allies are increasingly understanding that russia doesn't deliver. and i think that's simply a message we have to keep hitting home on. >> along those lines, something you referred to in your talk is the fact that russia's approach is generally to have good relations with everybody in the region. is that a vulnerability at the end of the day? if they are not picking sides on certain issues that countries find to be vital national security interests of their own, then it inherently limits their influences. >> absolutely. i think that's one of the top limitations that you're goin
