Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu said Tuesday evening, ahead of his visit to Russia, "I will sail to Moscow tomorrow to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin."

"At the center of our talks is the Iranian establishment in Syria, we are acting against it, we are attacking its bases and we will continue to act against it - and I will talk to the Russian president about that," Netanyahu said.

"We will continue to act until we remove the Iranians from Syria because Iran threatens to destroy Israel and we will not give it a base close to our border," the prime minister added.
