Haaretz: Russia Wants to Get Iran Out of Syria, Netanyahu Says After Putin Meet

Russia won't limit Israel's actions in Syria, says Israeli official.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday after meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow that getting the Iranians and all foreign fighters out of Syria is also one of Russia's stated goals. A diplomatic source added that Putin did not place limitations on Israel's actions in Syria.

Netanyahu said the meeting with Putin was "good and productive," emphasizing that Putin accepted his invitation to visit Jerusalem.

In a Tweet on Wednesday, Putin said he would participate in the opening ceremony for a new monument in Jerusalem commemorating victims and survivors of the World War II Siege of Leningrad. There is no date set yet for this visit, which the two countries will agree on a later time.
