Lavrov: Russia, US will consider Israeli interest in Syria talks

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said today (Monday) that the United States and Russia would ensure Israel's interests are considered when discussing de-escalation zones in Syria, one day after Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netnayahu expressed opposition to the current ceasefire deal, according to i24NEWS.

The hard-won ceasefire deal that came into effect earlier this month was meant to prevent further advances in southern Syria by both government and rebel forces. Iran-backed Hezbollah was not involved in or bound by the agreement.
