Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Russia on Monday opened a new chapter in Russia's relations with Israel, political figure Avidgor Eskin told Sputnik.
During Netanyahu's visit, Russia and Israel agreed to exchange information on Syria to avoid any unintended clashes between Israeli and Russian forces.
"Now, as a matter of fact, all the problems are now solved in Russia and Israel, because if we dig deeper, Israel was wary at the beginning how to behave towards the civil war in Syria," Eskin told Radio Sputnik.
The talks between Netanyahu and Putin also gathered a very positive reaction in Israel, Eskin said.
"If you open Israeli newspapers today, you will see a very positive atmosphere. Everybody reports about an extremely positive atmosphere yesterday in Moscow. And even a very conservative columnist <…> Caroline Glick, she writes that this cooperation between Russia and Israel is truly the best thing which could happen," Eskin added.
