Putin calls on Netanyahu not to take any 'destabilising action' on Syria

Russian President Vladimir Putin today called on Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to take any action that could further destabilise the situation in Syria, following Israeli strikes against a regime military base on Monday.

In a telephone call, Putin urged Netanyahu "to abstain from any action that could further destabilise the situation in the country, which would represent a threat to its security," the Kremlin said in a statement.
