"We will resume discussions on issues concerning the Middle East and such countries as Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, Yemen and, of course, primarily, Syria," Herzog said.
"We will continue discussing with you these issues and the position of Israel in the light of what has been happening," Herzog added.
The Israeli oppositional leader came to Moscow at the invitation of the Chairman of the Russian lower house of parliament's international affairs committee Leonid Slutsky. Herzog said ahead of the visit that he planned to discuss with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov the efforts that had been undertaken for the reestablishment of the Middle East peace process, as well as the future possibilities in this sphere.
The military crisis in Syria between government troops and numerous opposition and terrorist organizations has been raging since 2011. Russia alongside Turkey has been the guarantor of the nationwide Syrian ceasefire regime introduced on December 30, 2016.
