Netanyahu: Iran shouldn’t be ‘anywhere in Syria’
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that in meetings next week with the leaders of Germany, France and Britain, he will discuss “blocking Iran’s nuclear aspirations and Iranian expansion.”
Addressing the weekly faction meeting of his Likud party in the Knessset, Netanyahu adds, “When it comes to Syria, our stance is clear: There is no room for an Iranian presence anywhere in Syria.”
He says that stance, which he reiterated shortly after Russia implied Iran should not be allowed near the Israel-Syria border, “reflects the stances of many in the Middle East and as well as outside it.”
