Danger on the Border: Why Israel's Netanyahu Keeps Meeting with Russia's Putin
News roundup;
"Russian military forces are operating just over the northern mountains of Israel in Syria and Israel doesn't have a military conflict with Russia and it does not want a military conflict with Russia."
"All those boots on the ground threaten Israel's northern border – a key reason why Prime Minister Netanyahu will insist Iran leave Syria, either on its own or with help from the Israel Defense Forces."
The northern border of Israel is where the Golan Heights is located, and with it, coveted oil and gas reserves. The "hook in the jaw" from Ezekiel's war?
Russia won't be on the fence for long. Vladimir Putin has clearly stated that he is after wealth; oil and natural gas in Syria.
