Jerusalem (TPS) – Knesset Speaker Edelstein and visiting Chairperson of the Federation Council of Russia Valentina Matviyenko both emphasized at a meeting at the Knesset earlier today the importance of continuing the joint Russian-Israeli mechanism in Syria.

“Cooperation between the two countries is especially important in light of the concern that weapons will spread from Syria to Hezbollah,” Edelstein said. “It is no longer just an organization, but an enemy of Israel.”
