Israel offered on Sunday to assist international efforts to provide humanitarian aid to Syria without intervening directly in the bloody conflict enveloping its neighbouring enemy.
Calling the bloodshed of President Bashar el-Assad's efforts to crush a year-old uprising in Syria "more shocking than the worst horror movies in Hollywood," Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman also urged greater world efforts to end the violence.
"In Israel we think it is essential to stop this violence and we are ready to supply any humanitarian aid necessary," Lieberman told Israel's Army Radio in an interview, but stressed Israel would not act independently in this regard.
Israel proposed to pass aid to Syria via the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Lieberman's ministry said in a statement. The Geneva-based humanitarian agency has been trying to send supplies to the embattled Syrian city of Homs.
