普京和內塔尼亞胡舉行敘利亞問題會談

Russian President Vladimir Putin hosts Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for talks Tuesday focused on the situation in Syria.

俄羅斯總統普京星期二將歡迎到訪的以色列總理內塔尼亞胡，着重討論敘利亞的局勢。

Israel and Western powers are concerned about potential Russian sales of advanced anti-aircraft weapons to Syria, which would complicate any possible airstrikes against President Bashar al-Assad's forces.

以色列和西方大國對俄羅斯可能向敘利亞出售先進的防空武器表示擔憂，因爲這將使對阿薩德總統軍隊的任何可能空中打擊複雜化。

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said last week his government is completing arms sales to Syria under existing contracts, but did not say if advanced S-300 missile batteries were included.

俄羅斯外長拉夫羅夫上星期說，根據雙方簽訂的合同，俄羅斯政府將履行對敘利亞的軍售，但是他沒有說明先進的S-300導彈系統是否在內。

The talks come as efforts continue to arrange an international peace conference on Syria, which Russia and the United States proposed last week.

與此同時，國際社會正在繼續努力安排召開一個敘利亞問題的國際和平會議。這個會議是俄羅斯和美國上星期提議召開的。
