Benjamin Netanyahu says his meeting with visiting Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu on Tuesday focused mostly on Iran’s efforts to establish a presence next door.
Netanyahu says that “Iran has to understand that Israel will not allow this.”
The meeting comes a day after Israel destroyed a Russian-made, anti-aircraft missile launcher that took aim at its planes.
Israel has largely stayed out of the fighting in Syria but has carried out dozens of airstrikes on alleged weapons convoys bound for Lebanese militant Hezbollah group. It is also concerned arch-enemy Iran will plant itself on Israel’s doorstep.
Israel and Russia have established a special mechanism to prevent friction between their air forces in Syria.
Many thanks to the former president Oybama who worked untiringly to promote the hegemony of Iran over the entire mid east , with donations of many millions of dollars that they are now spending to consolidate their hold in the region .
I don’t get it so well. It is the Syrian Shiite government that allows Iran in, not Russia. Iran and Syria both by Russian weapons, and Russia will not stop selling it to them. Israel has to talk to the Sunis and Kurds to stop the Shiite advancement. Actually, Israel should be talking to Hashem to stop all of our enemies.
