The Jerusalem Post reports: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Sunday that a ceasefire plan that took effect at noon in southwestern Syria should not allow for a vacuum to be filled by Iran and its proxies in the area near the border with Israel.
Netanyahu added that Israel would welcome a genuine ceasefire in Syria, but heeded caution in addressing the latest international attempt at peacemaking in the Syrian conflict.
The United States, Russia and Jordan reached the ceasefire and “de-escalation agreement” last week with the aim of paving the way for a broader, more robust truce.
