Israel in Touch with Russia on Removal of Shiite Forces from Southern Syria
(Sputnik-Russia) Israel is in touch with Russia to achieve the withdrawal of Shia forces from the southern de-escalation zone in Syria, Israeli Ambassador to Russia Harry Koren told Sputnik. "Any cooperation with the international community including Russia and the United States, which could lead to withdrawal of Shia and Iranian forces from Syria, is important for us," he said. Koren added that Iran's attempts to deploy units of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to the Israel-Syria border "can lead to a dangerous strategic escalation."
