Prime Minister Netanyahu Discusses Threats to Israel with Russian President Putin
(Prime Minister's Office) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met on Monday in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin. At the start of the meeting, Netanyahu said: "I am here because of the security situation which is becoming ever more complex on our northern border. As you know, in recent years, and particularly in recent months, Iran and Syria have been arming the extremist Islamic terrorist organization Hizbullah with advanced weapons, aimed at us, and over the years thousands of rockets and missiles have been fired against our cities. At the same time, Iran, under the auspices of the Syrian army, is attempting to build a second terrorist front against us from the Golan Heights. Our policy is to prevent these weapons transfers, and to prevent the creation of a terrorist front and attacks on us from the Golan Heights."
