Prime Minister Naftali Bennett arrived Friday for a lightning visit to Sochi to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin for talks expected to focus on Iran and Syria.

Speaking from the tarmac before taking off, Bennett touted the importance of ties with Moscow, which Israel sees as a major regional player due to its support for Syrian President Bashar Assad and the influence it wields over Tehran.

“The ties between Russia and Israel are a significant pillar of Israel’s foreign policy, both because of Russia’s special position in the region and its international status, and also because there are a million Russian speakers in Israel who are a bridge between the two countries,” he said in a video distributed by his office.
