The Russian build-up in Syria continues to build momentum, with seaborne supply lines also being initiated from the Black Sea via the Bosphorus down to US . Meanwhile US policy regarding Syria appears to have stalled, with the US President's special envoy to the region stepping down. Gen Allen was known to believe the US should harden its position on the overthrow of President Assad, and in the need for a safe zone in the north of Syria - instead the prospect seems to be slipping away of either happening. With US elections due in next week , little is expected to change in the short term. Mr Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to make a speech at the the National Security Council in New York next week and it is hoped that he will give some colour as to his intentions.
