"Israeli" President Reuven Rivlin on Tuesday arrived in Moscow ahead of a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which he said will focus on the implications of Russia's sudden military disengagement from Syria.

In addition to addressing the ongoing UN peacemaking efforts, Rivlin told reporters, his meeting Wednesday with the Russian premier will center on "the day after" scenarios.

"We want Iran and Hizbullah not to emerge strengthened from this entire process," he told reporters during the flight. "Everybody agrees that Daesh [the Arabic acronym for the Takfiri "ISIS" group] is a danger to the entire world, but Shiite Iranian Islam is for us just as dangerous," he cautioned.

According to the apartheid entity's President, "There's a need for coordination with Russia in the current situation we're in," Rivlin said.

"Israel" has also been anxiously watching reports that Moscow is about to deliver sophisticated S-300 missile defense batteries to Tehran.
