Israel will not accept limitations on its “actions” in Syria from any countries including Russia, Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said April 16.
The statement came followed the April 9 strike by Israeli forces on Syria’s T4 airbase and the April 14 strike by the US and its allies on various targets across Syria.
“We will maintain total freedom of action. We will not accept any limitation when it comes to the defense of our security interests,” Lieberman said in an interview with the Walla media outlet,according to AFP.
“But we do not want to provoke the Russians. We have an open line of communication at the level of senior officers,” the minister said. “The Russians understand us and the fact is that for years we have managed to avoid friction with them.”
