Putin mentioned in his remarks his good relations with Prime Minister Netanyahu and said: "Relations with Israel are good and beneficial. I maintain regular contact with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on international and regional issues. We are in constant contact and conduct a significant political dialogue. Russia and Israel are united in their determination to preserve the truth.
