MOSCOW. Oct 17 (Interfax) - Israel regards as a mistake Russia's veto on the UN Security Council resolution implying sanctions against Syria, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has said.
"From our point of view such a stance is erroneous," he said in a telephone interview with Interfax.
"It is impossible to continuously think of what is advantageous now and what is not," he went on to say.
He said that such an approach at the time of the Internet and social networks is undermining stability of the entire world community.
"Support for such a regime as the one in Syria is not a correct approach and it is best to ask oneself what is going to be after it and to start coordinating joint efforts to work out a common appraoch to guarantee the continuity of power so that the next government in Syria would be more reasonable and would be ready to adopt the norms that are currently accepted," Lieberman added.
In his opinion, the incumbent Syrian regime has only a couple of months left and in these conditions the lack of concert of the international community on the Syrian issue is undesirable.
"What is the sense in simple support for such a regime? It can be artificially kept up for a couple more months but it is doomed anyway. And such dissociation of the world community may lead to a situation in which the next government may not be the one that we would want to see," the foreign minister of Israel said.
