Israel and the United States are snakes that are ready to attack other states at any minute, "even if they know they will die," the Syrian Information Minister Mohsen Bilal.
Bilal also described Israel as an "immoral" nation bereft of principles or values.
He warned that the Syrian government was keeping a close eye on the Golan Heights, which it intends to take from Israel.
Damascus claims the Golan - a plateau towering over the Sea of Galilee in north-west Israel - to be part of Syria.
But the heights, which were biblically part of the Land of Israel, and which the Balfour Declaration awarded to Israel, has been under Israeli control for over 40 years.
In all of Middle Easter history, Syria has only controlled this area for 20 years.
The report first appeared on the Jerusalem Newswire. |
