And THAT will never happen. Israel does not even officially admit to having the nukes that everyone knows they have.

Here is a powerful reason why Israel/USA would like a war with Syria:

Occupation of Syria and Lebanon would be a likely result of such a war. This would be quite an opportunity for Israel to (from their point of view) eliminate bases for attacks by Hezbollah and others, and remove a long-time substantial enemy (Syria), AND....open a direct pathway for Israeli forces to move freely into Iraq and beyond in case of further wars in the region against people like...the Iranians.

Israel presently has no direct access to Iraq or Iran by land. They would after the fall of Syria. An alternate route would be through Jordan.
