Our World: Israel and the Russian challenge av Caroline B.Glick Jerusalem Post 

"Israel’s military and political leaders are right to be concerned about the implications of Russia’s return to Syria. And it is far from clear that there is a way to credibly minimize the dangers. But, since we’re not going anywhere, we will have to make the best of a bad situation.
