TEL AVIV –– President Bashar al-Assad of Syria held a meeting today with his regime’s army leadership to discuss the possibility of a full general military mobilization to face the prospect of war with Turkey, according to a senior Syrian official speaking to WND.

The official said no decision has been taken about whether to mobilize all branches or to call up the reserves, citing an argument at the meeting that Syria doesn’t want to be seen as taking the first major step toward war.

According to Middle East security officials, Assad’s regime may have another reason for delaying the callup of reserves. The Syrian leader, they say, fears a full-scale reserve callup may result in an embarrassingly large number of troops refusing to serve.
