    Israel will strike against Iranian efforts to entrench itself militarily throughout Syria, and not only along the Syrian-Israeli border, Prime
    Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Russian President Vladimir Putin and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo over the weekend.

    Netanyahu told the weekly cabinet meeting that he spoke with both men and discussed the region, with an emphasis on Syria.

    The prime minister said he reiterated and made clear the principles
    guiding Israeli policy toward Syria. “First of all, Iran needs to withdraw
    from all of Syria,” he said.

    “Second, we will take action – and are already taking action – against efforts to establish a militarily 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,” he said.

    Diplomatic officials said that Netanyahu raises the issue of Iranian
    activity in Syria in all his conversations with foreign leaders, and that
    there was no single trigger for bringing the issue up now, such as reports
    that some 500 Iranian- backed Shi’ite militias were concentrating near the Golan Heights in the tri-border area between Syria, Jordan and Israel.

    “This is part of ongoing discussions with two important powers to stop Iran’s consistent efforts in Syria,” one official said. Iran keeps on trying to base itself in Syria, the official added, so Israel needs to continuously resist it.
