MOSCOW. June 6 (Interfax) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls for further strengthening of the mechanism of coordination between the Israeli and Russian military in regard to the situation in Syria.

We would both benefit from strengthening it further," Netanyahu told Interfax in an interview before his official visit devoted to the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, which begins on Monday.
"Russia is an important player on the international scene, and Israel is an important regional player.
