Mossad Head Gofman, Syrian FM Met in an Effort to Lower Tensions Between Jerusalem, Damascus
The talks come after Syria said negotiations were halted, while Damascus still expects security agreement talks to resume, according to Reuters.
- On Sunday, Mossad Chief Roman Gofman met Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad for high-level talks aimed at reducing tensions between Israel and Syria, with sources describing the discussion as having "went well."
- Tensions stem from an Israeli strike on an airbase near Idlib last week, which Israel conducted to prevent the installation of Turkish air defenses despite Syrian assurances the site would not become a Turkish military base.
- Despite stating Damascus "does not trust Israel," Al-Shibani argued communication remains necessary, "particularly with an entity that is always threatening Syria's security," while urging Israel to seize a "historic opportunity" for diplomacy.
- Damascus expects negotiations over a security agreement to resume, with Syria hoping such a deal could eventually lead to an Israeli withdrawal from Syrian territory.
- Israeli officials remain concerned that an expanded Turkish military presence in Syria could restrict the Israeli Air Force's freedom of operation and complicate air corridors used for routes toward Iran.
