Grand Mufti Says Israel Are Using ISIS To Blackmail Syria
Syrian Grand Mufti Sheikh Ahmad Badreddin Hassoun has said that Israel continues to blackmail Syria by claiming that they can tell ISIS to stop attacking Damascus if the government make concessions to Israel in return. According to Hassoun, since the outbreak of the foreign-backed militancy, Israel has constantly offered deals to end ISIS’ terror campaign if Syrian officials agree to cut their ties to Hezbollah – indicating that ISIS and Israel are working very closely together.
