The Trilateral Israel-U.S.-Russia Meeting: Motives and Ramifications
(Institute for National Security Studies-Tel Aviv University) Zvi Magen - Tuesday's meeting in Jerusalem of the national security advisers of the U.S., Russia, and Israel is an achievement for Israel's policy, which has succeeded in being a party to the superpowers' dialogue on the future of Syria and on Iranian intervention in that country. The very fact of the event upgrades Israel's status and the chance that it will be able to wield influence over a future accommodation in Syria. Lt.-Col. (ret.) Zvi Magen, a Senior Research Fellow at INSS who served in IDF Military Intelligence, is a former Israeli ambassador to Russia and Ukraine.
