Reuters: Russia-Israel military coordination talks on Syria to open Tuesday
A senior Russian military delegation will visit Israel on Tuesday for two days of talks on how the countries can avoid accidentally clashing while operating in Syria, an Israeli military officer said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed on Sept. 21 to set up teams as Moscow steps up military support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who has been losing ground to an Islamist-led insurgency.
Israel is worried the Russian deployment, which includes advanced anti-aircraft units and warplanes, risks pitting Russian forces against its own over Syria.
WNU Editor: The Israelis have sized up the situation .... looked at who they can rely on (and who they cannot) .... and have made the decision to work with Russia.

If Israel decides to work with Russia at the expense of U.S. interests, do you think that Russia will then provide all the spares and munitions that Israel needs to operate its U.S. military equipment? Or did you mean to say that Israel will work with both the U.S. and Russia in an attempt to survive any clash of military titans?
