The US will not let Iranian proxies threaten Israel from the Golan after ISIS-rule in Syria falls, US envoy for combating
ISIS Brett McGurk said on Thursday.
Speaking at the IDC Herzliya Conference, McGurk said that he was "recently on the Golan looking at... ISIS across the border" and that neither ISIS nor
"Iranian proxies" can be allowed to remain to trouble Israel.

Next, McGurk said that the US and allies would need to work hard top share intelligence data about fleeing ISIS fighters
to ensure they are caught wherever they go, remarking that "few do better" in this arena than Israel.
Responding to recent allegations that the US was violating the laws of war by using white phosphorous as a weapon, he shot down the reports.
"In the last month, ISIS started killing any civilians trying to leave" Mosul as Iraqi forces started to retake the city, even "using a hospital" as a
"killing tower" for firing on fleeing civilians, he said.
He explained that "the US is only using white phosphorous to protect civilians trying to flee ISIS," and not as a method of attack.
The use of white phosphorous on the battlefield, even as a diversionary measure, is controversial because it can easily and indirectly create large fires
which spring out of control.
McGurk also contextualized the US's recent shooting down of a Syrian Assad regime aircraft as responding to its crossing battle lines in attacking US-supported
Syrian rebels.
ISIS gained prominence in 2014 at one point controlling large swaths of both Iraq and Syria, but has lost most of its territory against a range of Iraqi,
Syrian, Turkish, Kurdish, US and Russian power over the last two years.
