Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said Monday that his country’s military takeover of the buffer zone along its border with Syria was a “limited and temporary step”.
“The only interest we have is the security of Israel,” he told a news conference in Jerusalem.
Saar also spoke about deadlocked negotiations with Hamas on a release of hostages in Gaza, saying indirect talks were ongoing, without elaborating. He said Israel could be more optimistic about an eventual breakthrough but was not there yet.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Sunday that he had ordered the army to “take control” of the zone after the fall of Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad.
