Weekly Commentary: Syrian Nuclear Program Highlights Danger Of Israel-Syria Treaty

Dr. Aaron Lerner
 
Former German Defense Ministry planning staff chief Hans Ruehle's article in
today's edition of Neue Zuercher Zeitung serves as a stark warning against
an Israel-Syria treaty.
According to Ruehle, the West - including Israeli intelligence - was
clueless about Syria's nearly completed al-Kabir reactor until an Iranian
defector, Ali Reza Asghari, revealed the secret to American intelligence.
U.S. intelligence had detected North Korean ship deliveries of construction
supplies to Syria that started in 2002, and American satellites spotted
construction at the site as early as 2003, but no one connected the dots.
Israel destroyed the site a few months later.
How would this have played out if an Israel-Syria treaty was in place?
Could Israel, restricted by a treaty and stripped of the Golan, have acted
against the site?
How would the Syria's being armed to the teeth with American weapons systems
and gizmos - thanks to the Israel-Syria treaty - further limit Israel's
options?
Of course, if one embraces the notion that Syria will live in peace and
harmony in perpetuity with Israel if it is just given every last centimeter
of the Golan then none of this matters.
But for the rest of us who don't base policy making on blind faith, the
story is a powerful reminder as to how dangerous Syria can be - regardless
of if we have a signing ceremony with them on the White House Lawn or not.
