Netanyahu says Iran seeks to build seaport in Syria
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSpeaking further on Tehran’s efforts to entrench itself in Syria, the prime minister says Iran is “seeking to build its military forces, military infrastructure, in order to establish itself in Syria, including an attempt to build a seaport.”
Netanyahu says such efforts “have serious repercussions for Israel’s security.” He says he told Putin during the two leaders’ meeting earlier that “this would destabilize (the region)… I made it clear that this would be unacceptable to Israel.”
“This makes a (Syrian peace) accord impossible. It’s against everyone’s interests.”
