Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRussia agreed to keep Iranian forces in Syria 100 kilometers (62 miles) away from Israel’s northern border, a senior Israeli official says, moments after a meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu concluded in Jerusalem.
However, Israel rejected that compromise and continues to demand that Iran not be allowed any military foothold in Syria, the official says. Israel furthermore demands that all long-range missiles be removed from the war-torn country and that any missile factories there be shut, the officials said.
