Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that during meetings with heads of states at the World Economic Forum in Davos, he told the leaders of Canada, Belgium and Switzerland that Israel will not allow Iran to establish military bases in Syria.
Netanyahu called on each of the heads of state to “take advantage of the opportunity created” by US President Donald Trump’s announcement earlier this month that he would no longer sign the certification of Iranian compliance, which waives sanctions on Iran and extends the nuclear deal, a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office says.
In addition to bilaterals with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel, and President of the Swiss Confederation Alain Berset, Netanyahu also sat down with Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev.
All four meetings were behind closed doors.
He is scheduled to meet several other world leaders while there, including US President Donald Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
