Pointing out that the relations between Tel Aviv and Moscow are difficult and complicated, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized that he has no desire for a military confrontation with Russia.
“I have no desire to enter into a new Russian-Israeli military confrontation. And no one wants to,” Netanyahu said in an interview with CNN.
At the same time, according to Netanyahu, Israel has a “difficult relationship” with Russia, since Israeli and Russian planes fly from each other “at a distance of spitting” on the border with Syria.
“Israel needs freedom of action in the air. And this freedom of action can lead us to a confrontation with Russian pilots. I prefer that this does not happen,” he stressed.
