Hezbollah: Syria crisis won’t escalate as long as Trump, Netanyahu ‘stay sane’

Hezbollah Deputy Secretary-General Naim Qassem speaks in an interview about a possible American military response to the chemical attack in Syria, and rejects the notion that the crisis would escalate into a direct conflict between the United States and Russia.

“The situation does not point to a comprehensive war, as long as Trump and Netanyahu do not lose their sanity,” he tells Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar, according to Ynet.
