"Any efforts by countries that have influence on what is happening in the region, including Russian Federation, to carry out this task (providing security to the northern parts of Israel. - Ed.) can have a positive impact on the creation of ceasefire conditions in Lebanon," Dmitry Gendelman, advisor to the Israeli Prime Minister, told Izvestia.
