Putin said to offer PM full Iranian withdrawal from Syria in exchange for eased US sanctions

Russia has offered Israel to broker a deal that would see all Iranian forces removed from Syria in exchange for eased US sanctions against the Islamic republic, Channel 10 news reports.

According to the report, Netanyahu told lawmakers at a closed-door Knesset committee meeting last week that Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested the idea to him.

The report does not say when Putin made the offer. The two leaders recently met in Paris on the sidelines of WWI commemorations.
