when the syrian government does go ahead and respond in the service like this do happen so i think that you know in the end this illegal presence beat up israel or others is what bears responsibility for such incidents like the one we witnessed today we have got a comment from the u.n. special envoy for syria and i'm a story let's just take a quick listen to what here at the say on this incident. we call upon all parties especially when we're getting these type of positive given you regarding what could have been a dramatic military escalation to refrain from military action of those who are there would only be in the read the complex situation it's a pretty neutral broad statement isn't it to avoid any sort of escalation or further violence something to be expected from an official from the united nations but he does ask everyone to avoid military actions do you think that's going to stop israel continually targeting syria a sovereign state without having the u.n. mandate. well israel has never showed much respect
11:01 am
for the un mandate so you and yours aleutians if you look at the there is allusions words for later to palestine for example all settlement activity as long as the israelis have american cover i think that this isn't going to stop however you have to refer to the same time that this time you know israel is risking an escalation with russia you know russia reserve totally different situation russia is a superpower in the world so i think that this latest development just the might at least for a certain time might push his world to quiet down it's a pretty in syria what we've seen recently from israel in is the escalation against what some what it calls iran and iranian backed forces in syria we have seen such escalation in israeli strikes and what happened today i think a might put the brake on the israelis for the time being because as i said now it
11:02 am
involves russia and i don't think that it will be in israel's interest and in any way whatsoever to you know enter into some kind of escalation with the russians either. and speaking of escalation of course up until recently up until today russia israel had managed to avoid any direct confrontations any such incidents in syria despite them having very polar starts is on our side on the syrian civil war now that that plane has come down now that lives have been lost and there is a direct involvement here do you think that's going to change somehow that interaction on syria. well that remains to be seen again the statement made by president putin does you no good give me the impression that you know he doesn't intend to escalate and i think you know that's the first response we have to wait and see what will happen you know we heard about this phone call which is expected to take place between president putin and benjamin
11:03 am
netanyahu the israeli. prime minister and it's quite possible that the russian president could issue some stern warnings to the israelis to quiet down their activity even if the israelis do use the pretext of you know attacking husband law or iran i think that the russian leadership might send a clear message that you know if attacking iran and hezbollah is going to lead to incidents like the one we witnessed today then israel has to put a stop to that so and this just smart this development just might be the beginning of a further you know more sent back for israel within the within the syrian territory maybe this might be the beginning as i said before of israel stepping back down and even not being allowed to operate on what it considers or to target what it considers to be its arch rivals in syria meaning iran and hezbollah are right ali risk middle east affairs commentator thanks for your time today on our to your insight into that incident with the rapidly developing diplomatic fallout thank you
11:04 am
. the last night's events were not the first time israel has been in action against syrian personnel and facilities i discussed this earlier with r.t. and they are today. and the reason why russia pointing the finger of it at the israelis is because of those past hostile actions say that israeli forces often took aim at syrian targets so if we go back rewind to the tenth of february twenty eight hundred that's where an israeli f. sixteen fighter jet crashed after being hit by syrian defenses during an offensive in syria the two pilots parachuted to safety before the crash in northern israel and it's believed that that was the first time that israel lost one of its jet stream the syrian conflict the plane was hit during a strike switching israeli f. sixteen fighter aircraft because please remember that in february for the first time israeli f. sixteen was shot down by a similar missile and this time there is
11:05 am
a chance that they may not be willing to take the risk of you know facing the fire coming from the syrian side and then they have taken cover of the aircraft now you see i've flown in that area and i know very well that there are there are a radar contacts of illiberal the israelis must be monitoring it and there are israeli controllers who speak the russian language because they are formed this particular aircraft but devolving which game only a minute short of it was far too late that means that the die had been cast and these sixteen crew and the ill fated twenty had already been sacrificed to save those four f. sixteen s i mean this is my personal opinion who has given permission to the israelis to come and bomb them over there the united nations is there mossad is supposed to be one of the top more intelligence agencies in the world by going to
11:06 am
church information with russia or more importantly with the united nations which can pick action over there if they are going to dig under strain action and they also claim that they have done it two hundred times earlier. then i think such an accident was reading to happen and i'm sorry for the time being i'm afraid that i used to be. russia's foreign ministries summoned these radio master over the incident the director of the nozzles think tank of our walk after all of us were nations between russia and israel and are likely to play out where we expect as a first response is to limit is really capability inside syria and probably lebanese airspace the israelis are not going to be given free hand anymore we think it would be the natural response because they would be there they must have been a lot of pressure on russia from syrian. leadership from the syrian government
11:07 am
saying look these people are brain increase you can't stop them you don't upgrade our systems our systems are too old and you don't participate in this now russia has been a victim of these additional egan's itself so it can make. you know a step forward in this and can draw a line and say ok no more is really. intervention otherwise we will take action and we will we've always warned against russian servicemen being targeted and now it happened we're not going to allow this anymore so this is the first response that we expect. well israeli missile strikes came just hours after the russian and turkish presidents agreed to create a buffer zone in syria's province that's to protect civilians the goal is to separate syrian government forces from militants in the country's last major rebel stronghold but it does if this report. weeks on end. dominated headlines last stronghold of g.
11:08 am
hardest al qaeda. and the syrian army was poised determined to win them would have been messy would have drawn the entire world is following our meeting the statement that we're going to make after the talks may bring hope to the region the president of russia and turkey spent almost five hours closer to the way working out a deal that wouldn't plunge into bloody chaos a deal to avert a military operation a peace deal. we have decided is created demilitarized zone along the battleline by the fifteenth. it will be between fifteen and twenty kilometers wide it will move radicalize militants out of this is only increasing on newsroom. really you get the with russia we will make the maximum effort to get rid of radical groups from this territory turkey and russia will both patrol this territory to ensure
11:09 am
compliance. the gist of it is getting radical islamists al-qaeda in syria for one away from the front lines withdrawing heavy weapons artillery tanks to make sure the fingers don't spark anymore escalations opening up the routes allowing travel through contested territories for civilians and russian turkish troops would oversee it all patrol this demilitarized zone but there are concerns the initials are motions to the features of a main concern is that the militants pose a threat to aleppo province of the city of aleppo and to a military compounds in syria tartarus and it may mean. the problem is the hardest who are bent on spoiling any peace effort they have everything to lose if it falls it will mark the end of the syrian war their final defeat assad knows it wouldn't
11:10 am
be easy or clean seems to be for this deal it looks like the military operation has been shelved for now probably drove the military and diplomatic solution to the the decision is very important indeed the worth of was looking for a military confrontation really. not the fight there is more causality if there is normally to roper's from the it is not expected clashes between the government forces than the radical groups in the long run probably does the immediate rise non will be the way where the radical groups will leave the area not only the people about also for. the turkish president wasn't exaggerating when he said the world's eyes were on this meeting stakes are so high here for the gulf states for the west especially he spent untold billions arming and financing the
11:11 am
syrian rebels only to lose. we consider any assault and lived to be a reckless escalation of the conflicts if assad russia and iran continue down the path their own the consequences will be dire the world will hold them responsible how much of that was genuine concern for civilians than how much is bitterness over losing you decide for yourself it's occurring that we have the discussions that are ongoing discussions we are one and president putin. is for as you watch what's taking place on the ground and start to see the potential of this and think i think. the discussions that they're having we just down a path of the potential when you can get something that's less kinetic if they're actually engaged in a level of dialogue nevertheless the united states pentagon seem cheered by this
11:12 am
latest deal a bloody battle has been averted and jihad is to being marginalized perhaps most importantly is the precedent for compromise and that's happened rarely. and we spoke earlier to jamal wakim professor of history and international relations at the lebanese university he says israel's responsible for the tragedy even if the incident is more complex. believe this move by the israelis was premeditated it was planned in order to send a message to the russian side that it will be blood that the russian servicemen will be killed in case the russians support a military action mainly in it live and this was also coordinated with the americans i believe that comes as part of this collation. by the american side and its threat to bomb syria in case the syrian army
11:13 am
moves to liberate it live from terrorist groups there so. i understand this incident as part of this is collation and i believe that it came at a crucial moment when president putin was able to strike a deal with. the president over the in order to stop the military operation there and to try to do to defuse the situation that's why i believe that the israeli side is fully responsible for provoking the incident and drawing. friendly fire from the city in part two down the. russian plane with fifteen servicemen on board. well set for the cell for myself on the team here at all to join us again that seven pm muska time for the latest global news update.
