Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Israel is not interested in a confrontation with Syria, days after he ordered troops into the UN-patrolled buffer zone between the two countries' forces on the Golan Heights.
"We have no interest in confronting Syria. Israel's policy toward Syria will be determined by the evolving reality on the ground," Netanyahu said in a video statement, one week after the opposition forces toppled Syrian regime lader Bashar al-Assad.
