Analysis: Netanyahu can't stop Putin, but he can coordinate with the Russians in Syria

There is no need to exaggerate the threat posed to Israel by the Russian deployment of troops in Syria, nor must we overblow the importance of the upcoming meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
When it comes to dealing with Putin, even a prime minister that "gets everything he wants"understands he must know his limitations. Netanyahu is not traveling to Moscow to stop the deployment of Russian forces in Syria - he is going in order to coordinate.
