Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan in Jerusalem on Tuesday. The pair discussed regional developments, in particular Syria, a statement from Mr Netanyahu’s office said. The prime minister said his country will do whatever is necessary for security, which is why it has “temporarily” taken control of a stretch of Syrian territory on the border “until an effective force is established to enforce the 1974 Separation of Forces Agreement”.
