controlling those territories near the golan heights they're. probably. your fish holes and un observers came there and so everything that's been said by israel in terms of the way it's worry it's about it's security near the golan heights is has been eliminated by us we've done what we've promised to do that and unfortunately your american american colleagues and i already spoke about. you your american colleagues said that they were going to eliminate to eliminate the. illegal zone but they did not give their words i would like to know your opinion on the estate would be very dangerous and second i would like to know your post about the united states sanctions against it but it's well in the dangers of are there. nor should. be as well as for as on terrorism or state sponsored terrorism. there's not you know there is. no such notion as a term of international law or u.n. . language so or some states use their term. such as that you the u.s. it uses this term but you need to understand that because that would be because you either have evidence or you ha

army bar an operation or a some shelling of the golan heights but we think now with the downing. of the russian aircraft that the response is going to come from russia this time around from the syrian army well here's how the russian defense ministry commented on the incident earlier today. on the seventeenth of september around ten pm is ready we're going to jets launched going to syrian military facilities in the city of latakia these are ready jets are flying at a low altitude from the direction of the mediterranean sea these ready jets deliberately created a dangerous situation for the war ships and aircraft located in that area the bombing occurred in the immediate vicinity of the russian aisle twenty which was coming in to land these ready pilots use the russian plane is against the syrian air defense systems as a result the russian oil twenty was brought down by a syrian air defense missile there's no way the israeli pilots could not have seen the russian plane as it was landing from an altitude of five kilometers at the last they deliberately carried out this provocation

security council regards the israel's requests operation in the golan heights even launching a mission in the golan heights to identify and exude the remains of israeli soldiers killed decades and decades ago at the request of israel but the second step it is now taking is it is going to equip every single syrian air defense command node with automated fire control systems basically this will allow syria to amalgamate to unify all of that said defenses which is going to make it a lot a lot more efficient but primarily this is going to give them friend or foe identification so russian aircraft will be identified as friendly's and who probably the won't be another such incident and the final point no less important though is that they're going to jam with radio electronic equipment they're going to jam satellite navigation systems military communications systems of any object that could be a missile it could be a cruise missile it could be an aircraft a jet that is attacking syria from the from the mediterranean the russian forces are mainly based in the mediterranean so again any israel

reason within to confront israel because of the occupation of the golan heights in one thousand nine hundred eighty seven so this will continue for a while we think. this year in state has weakened a lot because of what happened but it will recover the one thing that we see in the syrian state that we didn't see in other places like iraq libya or yemen is that the central government did not collapse and this would allow for a platform for a speedy or realty of least speedy recovery in comparison with the likes of iraq libya or human so we think this is going to take a long time we don't think that there is going to be any immediate response by the syrian. army bar an operation or a some shelling of the golan heights but we think now with the downing of the russian aircraft that the response is going to come from russia this time around the syrian army and escalation is felt by the way but thank you for coming on the program as such short notice and bring us your insight on the matter i'm no calf direct i have no self in congo focuses on crises in syria and the middle east thank you a

army bar an operation or a some shelling of the golan heights but we think now with the downing of the russian aircraft that the response is going to come from russia this time around from the syrian army it's not the first time israel has been in action against syria this is the start of the year there are been numerous incidents where israel has struck targets in the country after an israeli jet was shot down the israeli prime minister explains the country's motivation behind its actions i've been wanted for some of the dangers of iran's military approach with syria. iran seeks to use syrian territory to attack israel for its prefers goal of destroying the us this morning iran brazenly violated israel sovereignty they disparately renewed wrong from syrian territory into israel and this demonstrates that our warnings were one hundred percent correct is wrong wrong and it's. responsible for today's aggression we will continue to do whatever is necessary to protect our sovereignty and our security well that april russia and syria accused israel of carrying out a strike against an airbas

militants in or around the occupied golan heights have lost ground the israelis cannot give them money and armor anymore. and so they need to take things into their own hands there is a bit of sense of urgency we need to destroy as much facilities in syria as possible so that the syrian army's recovery. period takes longer. with should the russians shot the syrian airspace. against israeli air air air force freedom. it would definitely prevent israel from doing things moscow could also take another step by upgrading the syrian. air force capability one problem that led to the one technical problem that led to the to the tragic incident of the illusion twenty is the. sort of. weaponry systems that are used by the syrian state probably a more advanced one could argue a more advanced weapon system or anti defense system would. basically be specific towards the plane that has been targeted ok and not deviate or engage with a with a larger target probably a civilian airplane or so so this could be also something to be seen i.e. russia creating syrian air defense systems we really appreciate

damascus and they also have quite good connections and ties with kurds so role in syria's north in golan heights. so that might be an option now an important player here is iran and the turkish iranian relationship is just as complicated if not more than the turkish russia relationship it was interesting that president referred to president rouhani ascii brother during the summit but surely you would agree that these brotherhood is not without its complications what is the iranian short term and perhaps medium term objective in the bleep i think is iran who is in the is in the best position because i mean he sees his two friends going over no struggling our game and he's like you know staying a sign of the i mean on cue watching i was it right right right and that but it was a monkey but. iran has security is presence in syria i mean one hundred percent the only question is that what will be the degree overrun in military press and or konami presence in syria so for iran it's not really. a priority to see what happens with it but on the long run of course it's in iran's interest that damascus wo

the sky seemed to be crossing into israeli airspace and flying back into the syrian controlled golan heights carrying out its airstrikes so it gives you a sense of the closeness of conversation and de confliction that the two countries have lavrov was also in tel aviv then discussing these issues so i think again complicated dangerous but i think both sides will be keen. to try and find some middle ground to move forward on this all right stephanie decker live in antarctica thank you very much indeed we're here in doha with me is my one couple and he's the director of policy analysis at the arab center for research and policy studies welcome. first of all just your immediate reaction to this incident that's happened do you think it will have any impact upon the russian appetite for engagement in syria this is the first serious incidents between the russians military intervention in syria start. in late september two thousand and fifteen the two countries they have been able to actually to prevent such incidents by establishing the sort of the conflict mechanism between the chief of staff of

when russia flew near the israeli occupied golan heights they warned them three hundred ten they notified israel when israel bombed syria russia never shot down israeli jets or missiles even when they posed the danger to russian personnel at israel's request russia tore up a deal to sell syria this plane so that the syrians don't shoot or they took chris hughes in the plane and this plane so that the syrians if they shoot it would be shot down there is a fine line between the two analogies this is why he said this is close to criminal negligence you know and and great unprofessionalism and one and so what is happening is that had it not not only been for the operation but also for the actions of these really airplanes and the misleading of the thing regarding the theater of operations none of this would have happened so it's clear for the foremost goal that israel is to play now how although we are more school goes from there is is what remains to be seen. thousands of protesters attended a pro e rally in english city of liverpool on sunday crowds called for a second referendum on practic

that between israel and russia to avoid any kind of catastrophes like this thinking about the golan heights that disputed territory between israel and syria whether it be to make sure things like this couldn't happen now is something that israel could do to reduce the chance of this happening again it's even considering things. well well again i think that israel has maintained all along that iranian presence of any kind in syria is is not. is threatening to israeli citizens and israel reserves the right to take any action to combat that or to counter that and i think this whole thing is coming out of that system is that the iranians see an opportunity in syria because of the confusion and because of the civil war and because of the you know total mayhem there that they can come in and and stake a claim if you will not just in syria but they can stake a claim towards israel and israel will not have any of that so i think what's going to happen to move forward is more coordination between russia and israel but not israel you know backing down in any way from the iranian or the syrian threat

you know russians be used to this agreement that they let syrian porsches to get directly to the golan heights but you know the agreement is too low predation so it does i think it is it suggests that there is always serve room for compromise and it's important that neither side loses fees now you mentioned before that perhaps israel was a little bit emboldened by the trump and miss ration and tried to change the rules of the game some of your colleagues western colleagues allege that it is put and who is acting a porch mystically and using this tragedy to. change the rules of engagement in syria and cut off israel's overflights and strikes in that country do you agree with that and how much of an irritant has israel been to russia in that country. well i'm not sure that i can buy this position in the list for hours because what we see today in syria he's that the intensity and the geography all israel is trying. to expand so israel that he's he targets not just in the south west of syria but basically. he'd congress' power to go all the territory of syria and it's not just about the wars that

in syria in fact russia has actually helped stop the infiltration of hezbollah fighters in the golan heights so it's actually done favors for israel. and while the reaction has been muted from putin quite diplomatic his generals have been much more direct. in blaming the incident. twenty incident on israel and there certainly have tensions have become quite tense haven't they between the two countries who have had a longstanding friendship infor to come is now if we look at russia classifying the data to prove its arguments to the public why in europe opinion do you think western powers in similar cases tend to withhold that kind of information especially with accusations against moscow for example. well they hold information. to me anyway so obvious reasons they don't want to. first of all betray perhaps military secrets. and to control where the blame lies. we i mean especially in syria we've had a number of blame games most notably in the chemical weapons department. nobody never nobody know none of the chemical weapons. attacks are clear nobody really knows who's responsible. and the wes

spreading iranian influence across the middle east and it's true just a few years ago or including golan heights that was acquired back quartette tourists were taken there from jerusalem because it was so safe you know no one could imagine and your real immediate reaction there but also look at what happened in general these. after they had their operation in syria they didn't told paul and slightly dissident syrian regime which was not really anti west and also the syrian economy to the e.u. you know he was trying to be friends when he was a darling of a lot of the older world reformer yes so they they didn't top all of that regime which was not trade in any way what they all lost that much more important ally that was turkey which is now a real dissident inside nato you know and the relations are very bad between washington and uncorrupt so they mess it up every time they want to make it better ok and you know in the united states u.s. treasury has done remarkable things for the turkish lira let me go back to alexander i want to go back to this quote here right now it is our job to help create

calls should teach targets that guarantee its own serenity and its own borders we saw this in the golan heights as well way israel has long been concerned about iranian backed forces coming towards that so that's really where the whole russia israel security agreement came into being it's when israel was concerned about the war coming to its borders and asking the russians to get involved and to guarantee hits and to help guarantee with israel as well this curacy of its own borders so we know that they've struck a least two hundred targets in the last few years within israel itself but there's been very little admission from the israeli side about what those targets actually are ok iran contra is the line that from east jerusalem occupied east jerusalem thanks very much and run. now north korean leader kim jong un says he wants to produce a big outcome drawing three days of talks with south korean president j.n. it's the first time a south korean leader has traveled to pyongyang in more than a decade as from the bride reports from seoul it was a catholic or graft affair. if talks over north kor
