Netanyahu and Putin to meet for the fourth time in recent months
06.06.2016, Israel and the World Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow this week as the two countries are set to mark the 25th anniversary of the reestablishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
"The Prime Minister will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and will discuss the implementation of the understandings that were achieved during his visit to Moscow this past April," the Prime Minister's Office said.
"They will also discuss various regional issues including the global fight against terrorism, the situation in and around Syria and the diplomatic horizon between Israel and the Palestinians, as well as bilateral economic and trade cooperation and the strengthening of cultural and humanitarian ties.’’
The meeting in the Kremlin is the fourth time in recent months the two leaders are meeting.
During the visit, the two countries will sign a bilateral pensions agreement, which seeks to “correct a historic injustice regarding emigres from the former USSR up to 1992 who lost their eligibility for a Russian pension,” the PMO said.
Netanyahu will also meet with several local Jewish leaders, including Russian Chief Rabbi Berel Lazar, the chief rabbi of Moscow, Pinchas Goldschmidt and Russian Jewish Congress president Yuri Kanner.
