The presence of Israeli forces in Syrian territory is a “limited, temporary” step meant to ensure Israel’s security during the confusion after the fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Foreign Minister Gideon Saar says, APA reports citing The Times of Israel.
“The only interest we have is the security of Israel,” he tells a news conference in Jerusalem.
Saar also speaks about deadlocked negotiations with Hamas on a release of hostages in Gaza, saying indirect talks were ongoing, without elaborating. He says Israel could be more optimistic about an eventual breakthrough but was not there yet.
