That could clear the way for hundreds of Syrians, a country still technically at war with Israel, to cross into the country at the express invitation of a prime minister normally known for his hard-line positions on Iran, the Palestinians, and other issues. Israel, which shares a long border with the war-torn country, has already [URL="https://news.vice.com/article/inside-the-hospital-where-israeli-doctors-treat-syrian-patients"]treated[/URL] thousands of both civilians and rebel fighters in field hospitals located right along the border. There has been intense fighting on the Syrian side — including occasional strikes carried out by Israel itself against ISIS targets, such as a strike in [URL="http://www.jpost.com/Breaking-News/Israeli-Air-Force-strikes-ISIS-target-in-Syria-473858"]late November[/URL] on a vehicle carrying four operatives from an ISIS-linked group that had opened fire at an Israeli patrol.

Could something like this lead to better relations between Syria and Israel?

[QUOTE=BlackMageMari;51568249]Could something like this lead to better relations between Syria and Israel?[/QUOTE] No.

It's a nice gesture but what happens when the people are treated? Just ship them off to Aleppo? Also, why would the Syrian government accept the help of Israel, especially since we're still at war. It's probably going to turn out that the Syrian government would refuse and Israel would still get PR points for this.

[QUOTE=ScumBunny;51568257]No.[/QUOTE] I of course should know better, I suppose. It was the same in Northern Ireland. The fire brigade that went to help save Belfast during the Second World War briefly improved relations, but moments like that are parting. It is a depressing and bitter world we live in.
