Syria’s President Assad told Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri that Syria would stand by Lebanon against any Israeli aggression.
“Talks during the meeting dealt with the Israeli repeated threats against countries of the region and Israeli extremism which is poised for burying any chance for reaching peace by inflaming wars in the region and taking it into the unknown.” (Winston Mideast Analysis & Summary, 2/8.)
Syria had occupied Lebanon, exploited its economy, and still exerts an imperialistic influence over it. That is how he stands by Lebanon.
If Syria and Iran and their proxies did not stir up wars and terrorism against Israel and others, Israel would not feel threatened and, in turn, threaten powerful retaliation.
