Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the weekly cabinet meeting reiterates that Israel is determined to stop Iranian military entrenchment in Syria, and says it is working to thwart the production of precision missiles in the region “both near and far.”
“Israel is determined to prevent Iran and its satellites from establishing military bases in Syria,” Netanyahu tells ministers at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting.
“We are acting firmly against these efforts, as well as efforts to to produce precision weapons in all arenas, both near and far. This is how we will continue to act in the interest of Israel’s security,” he says.
Reports in Hebrew language media earlier this afternoon said the weekly cabinet meeting was canceled due to a protest by retired police and prisons service workers outside his office. Netanyahu did not refer to the protest, which saw nearby roads blocked, and security guards scuffle with some of the demonstrators.
