Netanyahu to head to Moscow for Syria talks

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will travel to Moscow on Wednesday for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Netanyahu will leave Israel on July 12 and return the following day, the Prime Minister’s Office says in a statement.

The visit comes as the US, Russia, Jordan and Israel try to come to an agreement on the future of southern Syria, where regime forces recently began an offensive to quash rebel strongholds in Daraa province. The area lies close to the borders with Israel and Syria.
