It's clear who benefits from this so-called chemical attack (I doubt it even is one). First and foremost the Syrian rebels including Al Qaeda. America, the UK, and France who want to topple Assad. And Israel who wants to remove another regional rival and who seems to enjoy getting the U.S. to fight its own wars.
As far as I've heard Israel is on record as saying that they will prefer an intact, but severely weakened Asaad regime in Syria. Syria currently doesn't present a significant threat to them, whereas chaos and Al Qaeda elements on the loose are much more unpredictable and dangerous. If pedaling conspiracy theories I'd rather bet that Israel supported the recent military coup in Egypt. Much more in their interest than toppling Asaad.
