Russia's Shoigu and Israel's Lieberman meet in Moscow

Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu discussed a de-escalation zone in southern Syria with Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman.

"Everything concerning the work on the border between Syria and Jordan was to be discussed, where Russia has an agreement with Amman and Washington," TASS cited Shoigu as saying.

During a visit to Moscow, Lieberman was due to address Iran’s alleged increasing military presence in Syria, according to the Times of Israel. 

Lieberman tweeted that “the primary focus of the defense establishment is preventing the entrenchment of Iran and its proxies in Syria.”
