MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, Koren held a meeting with Konstantin Kosachev, the chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Russian upper house of parliament, and said that the previous year had been successful for the Israeli-Russian relations.

"I think that this year will not be less intense, in a positive way, exactly due to the regional events in the Middle East. We highly appreciate Russia's peacekeeping efforts in Syria. This good cause is not only about a ceasefire, but also humanitarian aid to civilians," Koren said after the meeting.

According to Koren, Israel, on its part, also provides medical aid to Syrians, who enter the Israeli territory.
