Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he told Russian President Valdimir Putin that the Zionist entity will “act to stop Iran” from entrenching itself militarily in Syria or turning Lebanon into a “factory for precision missiles”.
Speaking with Israeli reporters via a conference call after the meeting with Putin in the Russian capital, Netanyahu said the discussions took place at a “watershed” moment, The Jerusalem Post reported.
“Will Iran entrench itself in Syria, or will this process be stopped?” Netanyahu said during the meeting at the Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center in Moscow.
“I made clear to Putin that we will stop it if it doesn’t stop by itself. We are already acting to stop it.”
The Israeli prime minister said he also spoke with Putin about the “threat of Iran manufacturing precision weapons in Lebanon.”
Netanyahu said he told Putin that “also here, if we need to act, we will act.”
For his part, Putin called the meeting “very symbolic, because these days the entire world is remembering the victims of the Holocaust.”
“We will take this opportunity to talk about our bilateral relations and to discuss the situation in the region,” Putin said.
This is the seventh meeting between the two leaders since Russian forces have engaged in an air campaign against Syria terrorists, under the request of Damascus.
