İsrail'in görevini devredecek olan ABD Büyükelçisi Michael Oren, Tahran-Şam-Beyrut üçgeninin İsrail için en büyük tehdidi oluşturduğunu söyledi.
Jerusalem Post'a bir mülakat veren Oren, İran tarafından desteklenen "kötü adamların", İran tarafından desteklenmeyen "kötü adamlardan" daha kötü olduğunu söyledi.
Oren, İsrail'in en başından beri Beşar Esad'ın gitmesini istediğini de kaydetti.
Suriye muhalefeti içinde de "kötü adamlar" olduğunu söyleyen Oren, "Ancal hala, İsrail için en büyük tehdit, Tahran'dan Şam'a, oradan da Beyrut'a uzanan stratejik yaydır ve biz Şam'ı bu yayın temel taşı olarak olarak görüyoruz.
Bu bizim Suriye'deki olaylar başlamadan önceki pozisyonumuzdu.
Olaylar başladıktan sonra da Esad'ın gitmesini istemeye devam ettik" dedi.
Oren, "El Kaideli olsalar bile, muhalifleri Esad'a tercih edeceklerini" de ekledi.
Oren, İsrail'in, Suriye'nin kimyasal silahlarının Hizbullah'a transferine izin vermeyeceğini de sözlerine ekledi.
Büyükelçi, kimyasal silahların ABD'nin kırmızı çizgisi olduğunu, ancak İsrail için kırmızı çizginin bu silahların Hizbullah'ın eline geçmesi olduğunu belirtti.
Körfez monarşileri ile ilişkilerine de değinen Oren, "Son 64 yılda Körfez ülkeleriyle bizim aramızda hiç bu kadar çıkar birliği olmamıştı" dedi.
Körfez ülkeleriyle Suriye, Mısır ve Filistin konusunda anlaştıklarını söyleyen Oren, "Bu, Arap Baharı'nın sunduğu fırsatlardan birisi" diye konuştu.
'Israel wanted Assad gone since start of Syria civil war'
"Tehran-Damascus-Beirut arc is the greatest danger," says outgoing Israeli envoy to US Michael Oren.

"Bad guys" backed by Iran are worse for Israel than "bad guys" who are not supported by the Islamic Republic, Israel's outgoing ambassador to the US Michael Oren told The Jerusalem Post in a parting interview.
Oren, in the interview that is to be published in full on Friday, traced the evolution of Israel's message on Syria during the three weeks of the chemical weapons crisis.
"The initial message about the Syrian issue was that we always wanted [President] Bashar Assad to go, we always preferred the bad guys who weren't backed by Iran to the bad guys who were backed by Iran," he said.
This was the case, he said, even if the other "bad guys" were affiliated to al-Qaida.
"We understand that they are pretty bad guys," he said, adding that this designation did not apply to everyone in the Syrian opposition.
"Still, the greatest danger to Israel is by the strategic arc that extends from Tehran, to Damascus to Beirut.
And we saw the Assad regime as the keystone in that arc.
That is a position we had well before the outbreak of hostilities in Syria.
With the outbreak of hostilities we continued to want Assad to go"
Amid reports that Assad may be moving some of his chemical weapons arsenal out of the country, Oren reiterated Israel's position that it will not tolerate attempts to transfer these arms – or game changing weapons – to Hezbollah.
"The chemical weapons were an American red line, it wasn't an Israel red line," Oren said.
"Our red line was that if Iran and Syria try to convey chemical weapons or game changing weaponry to Hezbollah or other terrorist organizations, that Israel would not remain passive.
We were prepared to stand by the red line, and still are"
Oren, who said he could not verify reports Assad was already moving his arsenal, stressed that "he is not moving them out to Hezbollah"
On other issues, Oren – who has contact in Washington with some ambassadors from Persian Gulf countries – said that that "in the last 64 years there has probably never been a greater confluence of interest between us and several Gulf States.
With these Gulf States we have agreements on Syria, on Egypt, on the Palestinian issue.
We certainly have agreements on Iran.
This is one of those opportunities presented by the Arab Spring"
Also, calling "overblown" reports that young American Jews were becoming distant from Israel, Oren sounded an upbeat and optimistic note about the future of American Jewry.
"Certain physicists say that the universe is expanding and contracting at the same time, the same thing is true of the American-Jewish community," he said.
"This means that it is contracting through assimilation, but there is a core of the American-Jewish community coming out of day schools, Orthodox environments, Jewishly educated and deeply connected to Israel and the Jewish people.
And that core is expanding"
"I am actually optimistic about the future of American Jewry," he said.
"I don't know whether American Jewry will be the same size as it is now in some 30 years, but it will be more Jewishly educated, committed and attached to Israel"

Bir milletin kultur duzeyi uc safhada; devlet, dusunce ve ekonomideki calisma ve basarilarinin ozuyle olculur.Bir millet savas alanlarinda ne kadar zafer elde ederse etsin, o zaferin surekli sonuclar vermesi ancak kultur ordusu ile mumkundur.
Asil ugrasmaya mecbur oldugumuz sey, yuksek kulturde ve fazilette dunya birinciligini tutmaktir.
Kultur zeminle orantilidir.
O zemin milletin seciyesidir.
Kultur, okumak, anlamak, gorebilmek, gorebildiginden anlam cikarmak, ders almak, dusunmek ve zekayi gelistirmektir.
