Shaked says Israel staying out of Syria fighting
Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked tells Israel Radio that Israel has no interest in being drawn into the Syrian civil war, but will defend its borders.
She does not address reports by the Syrian army, which have been denied by Israel, that two Israeli aircraft were shot down earlier Tuesday while carrying out a retaliatory raid.
“The State of Israel does not get involved in others’ conflicts,” Shaked, who is a member of the high-level security cabinet, says.
