Israel: Netanyahu reiterates objection to Iranian presence in Syria

Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister (Hebrew): “Over the weekend I spoke with the Russian President Vladimir Putin and the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. We discussed regional issues and focused – of course – on Syria. I reiterated our guiding principles regarding Syria. First of all, Iran needs to withdraw from all in Syria.

Second, we will take action and are already taking actions against efforts to establish a military presence by Iran and its proxies in Syria both close to the border and deep inside Syria. We will act against these efforts anywhere in Syria.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel “reiterated our guiding principles regarding Syria” in the talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin and the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. He was speaking at the weekly Cabinet meeting in Jerusalem on Sunday.

US-led coalition aircraft have reportedly bombed Syrian military positions in the Al Bukamal area of Deir ez-Zor province in eastern Syria, state media outlet SANA reports, citing a military source. The strike, according to the military source, allegedly targeted a Syrian “military position” in al-Harra, southeast of Al Bukamal. There are dead and wounded following the strike, the source added. The strike was “probably” carried out by American drones, a source from among the local pro-government forces told Reuters, adding that the attack allegedly targeted Iraqi factions between Albu Kamal and Tanf, as well as Syrian military positions. The Pentagon, however, denied any involvement. “Not a US or Coalition strike,” US Department of Defense spokesman Adrian Rankine-Galloway told Sputnik, about the reported attack.
