Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al- Moallem said Wednesday the violence that has engulfed the region over the past three years pleases Israel.

"Israel is satisfied over the escalation of terrorism in the region, destruction of infrastructure, exhausting the economies, Arab armies, particularly in Syria, Iraq and Egypt ... it is happy over the destruction in the region," al-Moallem said, according to state-run SANA news agency.

The minister charged that the radical hardliners currently fighting in Syria against the government are working under the support of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, the United States and Israel.

"Any political analysis to the ongoing events in Syria should start from observing the Israeli stance which intervened, as a main player, in the field when it raided and attacked three Syrian sites and received wounded terrorists in its hospitals," he said.

Moallem also pointed out what he said as the "harmony between the Israeli stance and that of the opposition abroad who welcomed the Israeli decision to allow arming the terrorist groups in Syria. "

He also charged that the enemies of Syria are now preparing the Jordanian front as an alternative to Turkey through the flow of gunmen and weapons across the Jordanian borders.
