Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRussian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov defends the ceasefire in southern Syria, after Netanyahu yesterday rejected the open-ended arrangement saying it failed to address Iranian military ambitions in the region.
Lavrov tells reporters that both Russia and the US “did the best we can to make sure that Israel’s security interests are fully taken into consideration” while brokering the ceasefire agreement.
