Top Netanyahu confidant, visited Russia last week amid Lebanon ceasefire efforts — report

Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer secretly visited Russia last week, Army Radio reported Sunday, in what appeared to be part of Israel’s efforts to reach a ceasefire in Lebanon where it is battling the terror group Hezbollah.

Dermer’s office said that it had no comment on the report.
