Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin speak on the phone about Syria, Iran, and the coronavirus fight, the Israeli leader’s office says.
“During the conversation, regional security matters, Iranian aggression and the situation in Syria were discussed. In addition, the two discussed advancing cooperation between the countries on the fight against the coronavirus. Moreover, Prime Minister Netanyahu conveyed good wishes to President Putin on his birthday, which is today.”
The call comes days after a Russian ambassador said Moscow would have “no problem” selling Tehran an advanced air defense system when the UN arms embargo on the Islamic Republic expires later this month.
