Iran Is Coming Closer to Israel

(Ynet News) Maj.-Gen. (ret.) Giora Eiland - The civil war in Syria is nearing an end, and it appears that Assad, Hizbullah, Iran and Russia have won.

Israel must make it clear to Russia that the IDF will take action to prevent Iran from building any kind of military force of its own near the Golan Heights border. In addition, Israel should discreetly strengthen its ties with those living in the Syrian Golan who hate Iran and Hizbullah.
