He denied all reports stating that Israel had handed over a plan to Putin during the former’s official visit to Russia last month.
This came after the Times of Israel newspaper cited an unnamed senior source who claimed that a plan on settling the Syrian conflict was given to US President Donald Trump and Putin.
According to Tass, the Times of Israel claimed that Putin expressed great interest in the plan, which the Israeli paper said, stipulated the withdrawal of Iranian forces from Syria.
The unnamed source also claimed that Israel, the US, and Russia would possibly discuss this plan in a trilateral meeting soon.
