Press TV has interviewed Mark Dankof, a broadcaster and political commentator, and Peter Sinnott, an analyst and independent scholar, from New York, to discuss the financial support that the Takfiri Daesh terrorist group receives.

Dankof says foreign terrorist elements have entered Syria from borderlines of the states that are friends of the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia, in order to facilitate massive displacement of the Syrian people and destabilize their country as part of a “larger demonic agenda” for the Middle East.

As a result of the situation in Syria, he adds, the US would be able to sell its arms, the Tel Aviv regime can implement the policy of the greater Israel and Saudi Arabia may find the opportunity to install certain terrorists instead of the Syrian government.

Dankof also pointed to an article by Seymour Hersh for the New Yorker in 2007 called Redirection, where the author “underscored the plot of the United States, Saudi Arabia and Israel” to destabilize the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

“When we look at people like John McCain and Lindsey Graham engaged in photo opportunities with leaders of this ISIS (Daesh) organization … it becomes really obvious that the fingerprints of the United States and Israel and Saudi Arabia and Turkey are all over this thing.”

Sinnott, for his part, believes the United States has been “hesitant” to fight and destroy Daesh, adding that the current campaign by the US-led coalition is only a “war of harassment” against the terrorist group. He said a coalition is needed to go on the ground and completely destroy Daesh inside their hideouts in Syria and Iraq.
