"Of course, the Iranian topic is very important. We see the negative role played by Iran ... We have already said that we will not allow Iran to create new bases in the region in general and specifically in Syria. So, of course, the Iranian theme will be raised," Livne told reporters, while answering a question on whether Tehran will be discussed by the two leaders.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on October 30 that Putin's schedule in Paris only envisioned a conversation with US leader Donald Trump, but noted that Putin and Netanyahu could meet on the go.
