Netanyahu meets top Russian envoys ahead of Putin summit
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets senior Russian officials ahead of his visit to Moscow, which begins tomorrow, for talks with President Vladimir Putin.
According to the Prime Minister’s Office, the prime minister met with Putin’s special envoy Alexander Lavrentiev and Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin to discuss “regional developments.”
Netanyahu’s national security adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat was in the meeting.
Netanyahu’s talks with Putin will center on Syria, with the Israeli leader expected to reiterate Israel’s position that it “will not tolerate a military presence by Iran or its proxies anywhere in Syria and that Syria must strictly abide by the 1974 Separation of Forces Agreement,” according to the PMO.
