Netanyahu Calls on Putin to Pressure Iran Out of Syria
(Asharq Al-Awsat-UK) Raed Jaber and Nazir Magally - Russian President Vladimir Putin met Thursday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Moscow. Kremlin sources indicated that talks mainly focused on military cooperation in Syria. Military analyst Ron Ben-Yishai, who accompanied Netanyahu to Moscow, told Yediot Ahronot that the major topic discussed by Netanyahu was the constant pursuit by Iran to establish a military structure that enables it to open a front against Israel. An Israeli official said that Netanyahu called on Russia to use its influence in Syria to prevent Iran from securing a lasting presence in the country.
