Citing Iran, Netanyahu comes out against Syria ceasefire deal

Netanyahu says he opposes the open-ended ceasefire in southern Syria brokered by the United States and Russia, saying it does not sufficiently address Iranian military ambitions in the area.

The prime minister tells journalists in Paris the agreement perpetuates Iranian plans to set up a disruptive long-term presence on Israel’s northern border.

Netanyahu says he brought up the issue with French President Emmanuel Macron earlier today.
