Lapid: Russian ties are important, but Israel's security is important.

Member of Knesset Yair Lapid said, Monday evening, "Relations with Russia are important, but Israel's security is important."

Writing in Hebrew, subsequently translated into Russian on Twitter, the chairman of the Yesh Atid party continued, "Even if the Syrian army receives S-300 missiles, Israel will be able to prevent the Iranian presence in Syria and the supply of weapons to Hezbollah. No one can dictate to us how to behave in matters of the security of our state."
