Clinton warns Syria of provocative acts
Published: April 30, 2010 at 1:14 PM

WASHINGTON
, April 30 (UPI) -- Syria's reported policy of supplying weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon is pushing the Middle East on a path to war, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said.

"We have spoken out forcefully about the grave dangers of Syria's transfer of weapons to Hezbollah," Clinton said during remarks Thursday at the American Jewish Committee in Washington. "Transferring weapons to these terrorists, especially longer-range missiles, would pose a serious threat to the security of Israel. It would have a destabilizing effect on the region."

Clinton was discussing Israeli assertions that Syria recently transferred Scud missiles to the Hezbollah, which is on the U.S. list of terrorists. While the United States has expressed concerns about Hezbollah's build-up in strength, Washington officials haven't confirmed Israel's accusation.

"We do not accept such provocative and destabilizing behavior -- nor should the international community," Clinton said. "President (Bashar al-Assad) is making decisions that could mean war or peace for the region."
