PM to Putin: Israel will act ‘firmly’ against border violations
Netanyahu tells Putin in Moscow that Israel will continue to thwart any efforts to breach its borders, adding that Jerusalem was keeping a close eye on regional developments in Iran and Syria.
“Its clear that our focus is on Syria and Iran,” he told Putin according to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office. “Our opinion is that Iran should leave Syria, but this isn’t something new for you.”
Netanyahu also notes the drone that crossed into Israeli airspace earlier in the day before it was shot down by the IDF.
“We will continue to act firmly against any violation of Israeli airspace or territory. We expect everyone to respect our sovereignty and for Syria to abide by the ceasefire agreements,” he adds.
