The Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) called for seizing the Russian intervention in Syria as a way of building strategic relations between Moscow and Israel.

The centre, considered one of the most important strategic assessment forums in Tel Aviv, urged Israel to establish strategic cooperation that ensures the achievement of its interests in both Syria and Lebanon.

In a statement published on Sunday in Brevity journal, the INSS demanded Tel Aviv ensure solutions in Syria take Israel’s interests into account, particularly in relation to the Golan Heights, and prevent areas in Syria from being used as attack points against Israel.

The centre said the Russian intervention helped in achieving one of Israel’s most important objectives, it stopped the crisis from being resolved. Adding that the victory of any party would harm Israel in the future.
