Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voiced his concern over Russia's cooperation with Iran. Netanyahu noted that Israel supports the fight against the terrorist organization "Islamic State", but not at the cost of strengthening Iran in Syria.

The prime minister added that he suspects Iran of using Syria as a springboard for destabilizing Israel. In addition, Netanyahu noted that there are still dozens of tons of chemical weapons in Syria.

As reported, at a meeting of the UN Security Council on April 12, Russia once again vetoed the draft resolution to investigate the chemical attack in Syria.

Recall, on April 7, from US military ships, 59 missiles were fired at the airbase of Syrian government troops in Homs province. Rocket strike is a response to a chemical attack in the Syrian province of Idlib.

World leaders have supported the actions of the United States, they were condemned only by Russia, Iran and North Korea.

Before that, France initiated an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council in connection with the use of chemical weapons in Syria, but the draft resolution was again blocked by Russia.
