Member of Knesset Yoav Kish (Likud) has rejected claims in Moscow that Israel is responsible for the downing of a Russian plane in Syria because Israel informed Russia of the attack on Syria only one minute before it was carried out.

A fighter pilot in the reserves, Kisch said, "It is necessary to oppose the attempt by Russia to define Israel as responsible for the downing of the Russian plane. The only person responsible is the one who pressed the button to launch the missile that dropped the plane."
