(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon and Anna Ahronheim - Israel's concern about Iran establishing a permanent base in Syria the day after the civil war there ends will feature prominently when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis on Friday, senior diplomatic officials said on Thursday.

The officials said the talks will also deal with Iran's deploying proxies in the region, as well as the situation in Syria and Islamic State.
