Last September, Netanyahu and several senior military officials flew to Moscow to meet with Putin following Russia's deployment of troops to Syria. The climate conference provided a convenient follow-up venue to that meeting.

In the wake of Turkey's recent downing of a Russian warplane, Netanyahu said their cooperation with one another "to prevent unnecessary accidents and tragedies" has proven successful.

He also called the battle against the savagery and barbarism of Islamic terror "another point of contact," saying he's "very satisfied" with the level of military coordination between the two countries.

"I think this is an indication of the openness and the success of the relationship between Israel and Russia—our relationship," Netanyahu said, adding, "It's good to see you again."

For his part, Putin said it was his pleasure to meet with Netanyahu on the sidelines of the climate conference, saying he remembered their "detailed talk" in Moscow. (Photo via WSJ)

While acknowledging "the many dramatic developments" on the ground, Putin congratulated Netanyahu on the upcoming Hanukkah holiday.

"It's a very good and bright holiday that symbolizes the victory, the triumph of light over dark," Putin said. "And I really hope that in international affairs we'll have it this way as well."

Putin said the Russians also "are satisfied with the progress of bilateral relations," noting that the "mechanism" proposed and promoted by Netanyahu has worked "to prevent incidents due to the dramatic developments in the region," adding that "we also have advances in other spheres as well."
