Israel remains concerned with the situation in Syria, including ongoing Iranian efforts to increase its presence and influence in Syria. Israel is believed to have carried out numerous aerial attacks against targets in Syria, some Iranian-related targets are Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman explain they will not permit Iran to establish a more formidable presence in Syria.

In the continuing battle against Iran, PM Netanyahu will be traveling to Moscow once again, to meet with President Vladimir Putin, who has been playing a significant role in the ongoing civil war in that country, albeit supporting a position opposed by Israel.

At the start of the weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday, 25 Tammuz, Mr. Netanyahu stated, “This week I will fly to Moscow for an important meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. We meet from time-to-time in order to ensure security coordination and, of course, to discuss regional developments.

“At the meeting I will reiterate the two basic principles of Israel’s policy: First, we will not tolerate the establishment of a military presence by Iran and its proxies anywhere in Syria – not close to the border and not far away from it. Second, we will demand that Syria, and the Syrian military, strictly uphold the 1974 Separation of Forces Agreement.

“It is self-evident that I am in regular contact with the American administration. These links with the two great powers are very important to the security of Israel at all times and especially at present.”
