Israel's ambassador to the United Nations Ron Prosor blamed what he called as “provocations” by the Syrian government as reason for a military assault on the Arab country.

During a UN Security Council meeting about the Middle East on Tuesday, he said that “If provocations by the Syrian government continue, Israel will have no choice but to respond accordingly,” Israel's ambassador to the United Nations Ron Prosor said during a UN Security Council meeting about the Middle East on Tuesday.

Prosor repeated Western allegations that Syria possessed chemical weapons and that Israel, the only nuclear-armed regime in the Middle East, could not tolerate it.

The Tel Aviv regime has already launched several attacks on Syria since the beginning of 2013, while making provocative moves in the occupied Golan Heights and along Syrian borders.

Israel has the biggest stockpile of weapons of mass destruction in the region and is the sole possessor of nuclear weapons in the Middle East.

War in Syria started in March 2011, when pro-reform protests turned into a massive insurgency following intervention of western and regional states.

The unrest, which took in terrorist groups from across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, has transpired as one of the bloodiest conflicts in recent history.

As the foreign-backed insurgency in Syria continues without an end in sight, the US government boosts its political and military support to Takfiri extremists.

Washington has remained indifferent about warnings by Russia and other world powers about the consequences of arming militant groups.
