A member of the Syrian parliament has confirmed to Al Jazeera TV that Syria is arming its military to fight a war with Israel, expected to break out this summer.

A member of the Syrian parliament, Muhammad Habash, confirmed on Tuesday that his country was actively preparing for war with Israel, expected to break out in the summer, Israel Radio reported.

In an interview with Al Jazeera, Habash said it was no secret that the Syrian military was arming itself for the upcoming confrontation with the IDF.

He also claimed that the Israeli government was the one that wanted the war so that it could survive politically.

But wait—I thought Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said Bashar Assad was ready to resume the peace process?
