MOSCOW (Reuter)- Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke to Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu Wednesday and urged him to do nothing to destabilize Syria, the Kremlin said.
Syria, Iran and Russia say Israel was behind an air strike on a Syrian air base Sunday that killed seven Iranian military personnel, something Israel has neither confirmed nor denied.
In the telephone call, Putin told Netanyahu that it was important to maintain Syria's sovereignty, according to a statement on the Kremlin's web site.
