国际英语资讯:U.S. adviser Bolton says U.S. conditions Syria withdrawal with safeguarding Kurds

"Our position is clear - we continue to act against the Iranian military buildup in Syria, including in these days, and we are acting against anyone who undermines or tries to undermine Israel's security," Netanyahu said.

Bolton arrived in Israeli on a mission to calm Israeli concerns over U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to pull U.S.'s 2,000 troops out of Syria.

Israeli officials said an abrupt withdrawal could enable Iran to gain a wider presence in the war-torn country.

On Friday, Netanyahu held a phone talk with Russian President Vladimir Putin, for the first time since the U.S. withdrawal announcement.

The Israeli Prime Minister's Office said in a statement that the two leaders "discussed the situation in Syria and recent developments and agreed on continued coordination between the [Israeli and Russian] militaries."

The prime minister reiterated Israel's stance against Iranian foothold in Syria, saying the Jewish state is "determined to continue its efforts to prevent Iran from entrenching itself militarily in Syria."

While the U.S. announced in December its intentions to pull out of Syria, Russia has been directly involved in the eight-year war with its forces fighting alongside Bashar al-Assad's army since 2017.

Israel says it is not part of the ongoing war but the Israeli military has carried out dozens of air attacks in recent years against Iranian and Syrian army positions in Syria, in addition to weapons convoyed for Hezbollah, a Lebanese Shiite militia.
