Netanyahu meets Putin in Moscow amid new round of Syria strikes

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in Moscow to meet President Vladimir Putin to discuss military coordination amid new strikes in Syria blamed on Israel.

“The meetings between us are always important and this one is especially so,” Netanyahu said ahead of his departure. “In light of what is currently happening in Syria, it is necessary to ensure the continued coordination” between the two militaries. Netanyahu made no mention of the overnight strikes.

During the visit, Netanyahu and Putin attended a parade in Moscow commemorating the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany 73 years ago.

After the parade, the leaders laid a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier in Red Square.
