Netanyahu warns Iran against placing troops in Syria

The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu has reiterated his warning against allowing Iran to acquire nuclear weapons or placing Iranian troops in Syria.

“We have made it clear many times that we will not tolerate Iran’s possession of nuclear weapons and will not allow Iranian troops to be stationed near our borders in Syria or elsewhere” Netanyahu said during a ceremony yesterday.

“Our fruitful cooperation with the Arab countries is usually hidden, but I believe that our relations with them will continue to mature and I believe that they will bring fruit to expand the circle of peace because this is happening behind the scenes” he added.

“Whoever wants to target us, we will strike him, and those who seek to put us at risk of annihilation, we will put his life at risk” Netanyahu said.
