Why Russia and Israel are Cooperating in Syria | The Huffington Post
Although Israel’s self-defense imperatives have triggered military actions that contravene Russian interests like the strikes on Hezbollah targets earlier this year, Israel and Russia have increased their security policy coordination in Syria to prevent open confrontation.
In particular, the IDF has notified Moscow on impending strikes and has agreed to demarcation lines with Russia on where to intervene. This cooperation demonstrates that Israel is beginning to operate outside the anti-Assad, anti-Russian consensus of Western powers and the majority of the Arab League.
Israel’s tacit support for stability in Syria is the latest example of Jerusalem’s normative allegiance with Russia on national sovereignty issues and military interventions. To curry Putin’s favor, Israel refused to recognize Kosovo’s independence, scaled back military cooperation with Georgia following the Russian intervention in South Ossetia in 2008, and did not condemn the 2014 annexation of Crimea.
In exchange, Putin has rewarded Israel with deepened economic and security linkages at a time when Western powers are pressuring Jerusalem on its occupation of the Palestinian territories and Western civil society organizations are lobbying to boycott Israeli goods. Bonding with Russia on normative and international legal grounds benefits Israel’s strategic interests greatly. Therefore, Israel’s softening opposition to Russia’s pro-Assad position in Syria is the latest manifestation of a broader foreign policy trend.

The Moscow-Jerusalem axis over Syria
Given the capabilities introduced by Russia, and the possible advantage Syria, Iran and Hezbollah might enjoy as a result, it is no surprise that Netanyahu jumped on a plane for Moscow literally moments after the Russian deployment was announced in September.
His critical mission was twofold - to win assurances that Russia would not interfere in the existing rules of the game that enable Israel to undertake at will missions in sovereign Syrian airspace against Syrian, Hezbollah, and Iranian targets, and to make operational arrangements to reflect these understandings.
The arrangements reached since September between Israel and Russia are of a different order from the protocols established between Washington and Moscow. The latter are restricted to "deconfliction", while the favoured description of the Jerusalem-Moscow axis is a more expansive "coordination".
By all accounts the top-level diplomatic and operational efforts between Israel and Russia have succeeded.
Netanyahu and Putin met in Paris less than a week after the Turkish Air Force on November 24 downed a Russian Sukhoi Su-24 over the Syrian-Turkish border - the first such incident between a NATO country and Russia in the post-World War II era, and one that highlighted, in Tel Aviv as elsewhere, the troubling uncertainty of this new era.Netanyahu explained to Putin that "the events of recent days prove the importance of our coordination, our deconfliction mechanisms, our attempts to cooperate with each other to prevent unnecessary accidents and tragedies, and I believe that we’ve been successful."
At a January 15 news conference, Netanyahu confirmed that Russia and Israel "acknowledge the fact of each other's special interests and plan to do so [in order that] this coordination and absence of confrontation continue".
Putin and Netanyahu: Minds alike over Syrian skies
Israeli and Russia are not simply "de-conflicting". They are "coordinating" in Syrian airspace. A well-informed Arab diplomat with wide-ranging regional experience explained to me that Israel and Russia are conducting joint reconnaissance and intelligence gathering and evaluation over Syria.
"The planes are flying together. Information is relayed to the Russian centre at Latakia, where it is evaluated and passed on to Israel," he said.
