Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke by phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on July 28 to discuss various developments in the Middle East, including recent sectarian violence in Syria and Iran’s nuclear program.
During the call, Putin “emphasized the importance of supporting the unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity” of Syria, said a Kremlin statement.
The Russian leader added that the political stability in the country must be achieved through respect for “all ethnic and religious groups’ interests.”
More than 1,400 people were reportedly killed earlier this month in sectarian clashes between forces loyal to Syria’s Islamist-led government and Druze fighters in al-Suwayda in southern Syria. Israel intervened in support of the Druze, citing its historic ties with the religious minority group, and forced the government to accept a ceasefire agreement .
To this day, Russia maintains two bases in Latakia and Tartus on the Syrian coast, where a sectarian-fueled government crackdown claimed the lives of more than 1,600 civilians from the Alawite religious minority group last March. Sectarian tensions remain high there.
Also during the call, Putin again offered to mediate in talks on Iran’s nuclear program, after negotiations ground to a halt last month, when Israel launched its surprise attack on the Islamic Republic.
Russia and Israel have for years maintained high-level contact to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East. Last July, Israel’s Kan public broadcaster reported that Israel was conducting under-the-radar diplomatic talks with Russia concerning both Syria and Iran.

why is putin talking to this piece of shit? no deal is worth anything with netanyahu
because he is a pedophile and a war criminal. right is: war criminal pedophile putler talked to the war criminal bibi. if we lived on a just planet, those two criminals would be talking in a cell in the hague prison.
if it is written correctly: a war criminal, pedophile, and old thief talked to a psychopath of his own kind.
there is a very unhealthy and unsavoury relationship between putin and israhell. putin has called israhell a russian speaking country and spoken in gushing terms of the need to defend israhell. putin supported genocidal us sanctions against iran, refused to deliver s300s iran had paid for, and to complete the contract to do work at bushehr, as favours to nuttyyahoo. putin is as untrustworthy as erdogan, a bit of a snake. that’s why iran has been suspicious of russian offers of help.
because they are friendos… just like putin and drumpf… russia needs better leaders… better, russia needs to become socialist again! capitalism will eventually destroy it if don´t
correct, why talk to the scumbag what does putin think will happen? netanyahu has gone way beyond reason and should be arrested on sight.
all this nonsense doesn’t change any of he facts. russias not able to sustain a 100 year war, so just grow up and get real and stop kidding yourself.
russians and israelis are a pedophile breed, which is why they like jolani and donald duck (dump; epstein friend; mister pedophile and president us donald trump).
peter thiel and j.d. vance will prevent the genocide of the kurds by fire donald trump from the presidency
how is it possible that iran is now supporting hts, even though hts is planning to slaughter hezbollah and sell hezbollah women and hezbollah girls in idlib?
shouldn’t have conversations with the people wanting to wipe you out.
how? they are jews, murderers, thieves and pedophiles all together, except that they should all be in khazaria and not causing chaos in syria and iran. now the gang is planning to install khamis khanjar as president of iraq. khanjar’s natal chart says that he is an extremely honest and good man, but he acts as if he is none of these things.
war criminal putin recognized the genocidal hts group as the government of syria.
it won’t be long before the year is up putler and mrs. emma will move to hell to the devil, whose bride i am.
exclusive newsworld news behind the mask isis slaves lift lid on ‘true face’ of syria’s ex-jihadi al qaeda-linked leader… & warn west shouldn’t trust him both women told of the agony they endured under isis – and why they fear al-sharaa henry hollowayalan duncan published: 10:48, 13 jul 2025
even women who haven’t sold their souls to the devil know this… well, i see, the yazidis aren’t as stupid as i thought. but the stupidity of the syrians is obvious, the iraqis are less stupid, which is why khamis khanjar will win the elections in iraq this year.
we must acknowledge that some guys in syria have improved their image: they used to cut heads before they cut the camera and now they cut the camera before they gun people down.
two former slaves have issued a stark warning to the west about syria’s new “reformer” president ahmed al-sharaa. yazidi women fatima & nada – who were kidnapped by isis, and whose names we have changed to protect their identities – have pleaded with western leaders not to trust the former jihadi warlord. syria’s president ahmed al-sharaa pictured in maycredit: reuters president ahmed al-sharaa with foreign secretary david lammy in damascus on july 5credit: afp
ahmed al-sharaa, pictured in 2016 at an undisclosed location, was previously known by his moniker abu mohammad al-jolani al-qaeda fighters parading in yarmuk palestinian refugee camp. 17 a fighter from al-sharaa’s terror group al-nusra in syria in 2016credit: afp and both of them claimed to have met al-sharaa while they were enslaved – who was then known by his moniker abu mohammad al-jolani.
nada – who was snatched by isis and forced into slavery- told the sun: “he is dangerous – he is very dangerous.” meanwhile, fatima – who had at least 60 members of her family killed by the death cult – said: “many of them now who were [al-qaeda or isis] are now claiming to be moderate.
“i don’t believe him.”
president al-sharaa now positions himself as an outward looking moderate, renouncing his jihadism and swapping his combat fatigues for a suit after deposing dictator bashar al-assad.but questions remain over his history and his grip on power – with disturbing reports of isis-esque atrocities being committed in syria by groups linked to his regime.fatima and nada accused the then al-jolani and his terror group jabhat al-nusra of being “no different” than isis.
moderate relooking… btw the us relooked him. check al shaara/jolani face. now check theodor herzl face. what do you think? the mustache a little thinner for jolani. their relooking gives almost a perfect lookalike. it gives a strange feeling…
both are speaking out as they still feel the agony of what was done to them by the jihadi groups – along with their fellow yazidis. while both were happy to provide historic pictures of themselves, they declined to be pictured or named as of today – fearing reprisals from jihadis still on the loose.
the yazidis are a kurdish-speaking minority group who were brutalised by isis – with around 5,000 killed while more than 10,000 were enslaved and trafficked.
how shamima begum camps are fermenting twisted next generation of isis as kids make ‘cutthroat’ gesture & hurl firebombs both fatima & nada lost family members – with many still missing – and both were tortured, abused and forced into slavery by isis.
with al-sharaa’s personal history steeped in jihadism – as well as their claims to have seen him meeting with isis emirs in 2015 – they fear what his ascension will mean for syria and the middle east.
nada with her husband – who remains missing after being the yazidi genocide photo of a family: a woman in an orange dress, a man in a light gray shirt, two boys, and a young girl. fatima pictured with her family before they were taken by isis both slaves – now freed – bravely gave their testimony to brit squaddie turned documentarian alan duncan.
duncan fought against isis with the kurdish peshmerga – but now uses his camera to expose the crimes of isis and other jihadi groups, particularly working on the plight of the yazidis.he has previously reported on testimony against shamima begum – and investigated the camps in northern syria currently holding isis fighters.
both women have spoken out as last week britain’s foreign secretary david lammy met with al-sharaa – pledging nearly £100m in humanitarian aid to syria.
humanitarian aid ? leyland trucks and enfield rifles
and this week the us has reportedly decided to delist his current group – hay’at tahrir al-sham (hts), the successor to the brutal al-nusra – as a terrorist organisation. one of the former slaves, who we are naming only as nada – explained how she met al-jolani in 2015 while she was being held captive in syria.
‘he came to pray’ she said she was “owned” at the time by an isis emir.
nada alleged she saw al-jolani twice during her captivity in syria, where the emir would bring him to his house to pray before the two would hold “meetings”. the meetings would involve al-jolani and around 10 militant commanders who would arrive at the compound. she described that al-jolani was treated as a guest of honour, being seen with a level of respect usually reserved for figures like isis leader al-baghdadi.
nada said: “in 100-years i won’t forget a face. i saw him twice. we were face-to-face.” the then al-qaeda operative al-jolani al-jolani was an associate of isis leader abu bakr al-baghdadia wanted poster released for al-jolani by the fbi in 2017 – the bounty was lifted from his head in 2024credit: fbi trump meets with ahmed al-sharaacredit: afp abu mohamed al-jolani inspecting earthquake damage in syria.
ahmed al-sharaa was a member of al qaeda and spent five years in american jails before being dispatched to set up the al-nusra terror group in syriacredit: afp nada described how she was asked to bring food to them – but the isis members described him as a “big man” and said he was “special”.she did not know the subject of the meetings, with the slaves of course not being present during the apparent talks.
she warned western politicians “not to believe” that al-jolani was reformed – warning he could “kill many people again”. she went on: “trump, the british, the europeans, they can’t see him. he is still dangerous. i am sad and angry.” she said she remains convinced that he still has jihadist sympathies, “he still has it here (in his head)”. “it is hard to change that,” she told the sun.
nada was held prisoner for two years by isis along with her children working as slaves, and she described being “hurt” every day.her husband is still missing and she revealed young children in her extended family were forced to serve in the so-called “cubs of the caliphate” – isis’s equivalent of the hitler youth.
the family was subject to forced conversations while living with isis – with the jihadis threatening to kill her children if she didn’t obey them
‘if they liked us – they would buy us’ fatima also explained how her whole family was captured by isis – with many of them being killed, including her 5 uncles, her grandmother, and her husband & cousins.
she said at least 60 members of her extended family ended up being wiped out by the jihadi death cult.
and she claims she ended up being held alongside the sister-in-law of human rights activist nadia murad, a nobel prize-winning former yazidi slave who was kidnapped when she was 19 and worked with amal clooney to draw attention to the genocide. those who survived were taken and the women ended up being sold at a slave market in mosul, iraq – with people from all over the world who were working with isis.
she even revealed her son in a photo taken of the isis “caliphate cub” – saying her boy was then trained to be a suicide bomber.
fatima was eventually sold to a senior isis emir who was being hunted by the americans.
and she also says she saw al-jolani twice in 2015. picture showing yazidi women held captive by isisfatima’s son – pictured far left – who was forced in the ‘cubs of the caliphate’ group photo of many young boys and a few adult men.

the then slave even cooked for the warlord – with it being the duty of the slaves to serve and prepare food for the emirs and their guests.she explained there is no way the then al-jolani would not have known there were slaves present. and that murad’s sister-in-law was also present when they met the warlord. all the slaves had to line up to greet him and the other emirs when they arrived at the house by car.
and she claimed that slaves were even sold at these meetings, with her emir offering them to his guests. “if they liked us – they would buy us, it was like a market for women and kids,” she said.
she said she recognised his laugh and his smile, adding: “it was him, for sure.
“not 100%, 200%.”
much like nada, she feels deep hurt that the perpetrators and enablers of the crimes against the yazidis have never been held accountable.
