Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani met with a high-level Israeli delegation led by Mossad Director Roman Gofman in Jordan on Sunday, according to Syrian state media and multiple international outlets. The talks, mediated by the United States, aimed to de-escalate tensions following an Israeli airstrike on Syria’s Abu al-Duhur airbase in northwestern Idlib on Thursday Al Jazeera Yeni Şafak.

Israel stated the strike targeted the airbase to prevent a Turkish military buildup, including drones and radar systems, a claim both Syria and Türkiye denied. Syrian state news agency SANA reported the discussions focused on halting Israeli attacks, arrests, and targeting operations, as well as reviving negotiations for a lasting security agreement. Syria reiterated its sovereignty over the Golan Heights and its right to determine military alliances Al Jazeera ORF.

The Israeli Air Force dropped at least eight bombs on runways and hangars at Abu al-Duhur on Tuesday, which Israel described as a “warning shot” after Syrian denials of Turkish deployment plans. Al-Shaibani told Axios on Wednesday that Turkish officers had visited the base for training and expertise exchange but that Syria had no intention of hosting a permanent Turkish presence. He said he conveyed this to Israel before the strike, but the attack proceeded Axios.

U.S. officials, including envoy Tom Barrack, had urged Israel, Syria, and Türkiye to resume dialogue amid rising tensions. The Sunday talks also addressed preventing the Israel-Türkiye rivalry from spilling into Syrian territory. Israel has conducted hundreds of strikes on Syria since the fall of Bashar al-Assad in December 2024 and entered a UN-patrolled buffer zone in the Golan Heights Al Jazeera.

Syria’s delegation emphasized the need for Israeli troops to withdraw to pre-December 2024 positions and full implementation of the 1974 disengagement agreement. The U.S. has sought a security deal between Israel and Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa’s government for over a year ORF. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan have exchanged sharp rhetoric since the airstrike, with Netanyahu warning of further action if kite and balloon launches from Gaza continue GeoPWatch.

Netanjahu kazał armii działać przeciwko "śmiertelnemu zagrożeniu". Chodzi o foliowe latawce z Gazy Premier Izraela Benjamin Netanjahu wydał polecenie wojsku, aby podjęło zdecydowane działania w związku z wypuszczaniem balonów i latawców ze Strefy Gazy, które w przeszłości używano do ataków na Izrael - poinformował w niedzielę portal Times of Israel. Cztery znalezione latawce nie były w nic uzbrojone i nawet w armii nieoficjalnie przyznaje się, że prawdopodobnie były dziecięcymi zabawkami.

Scoop: Syria and Israel move to defuse tensions after airbase bombing High-level Israeli and Syrian officials met Sunday in an effort to lower the temperature between the countries after a recent airbase bombing, according to three sources with knowledge of the matter.Why it matters: The meeting between Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani and the director of Israels Mossad spy agency, Roman Gofman, took place days after an Israeli strike on a Syrian airbase sharply escalated tensions between the two countries.Driving the news: On Tuesday, the Israeli Air Force dropped at least eight bombs on runways and hangars at the Abu al-Duhur airbase in northern Syria, about 45 miles from the Turkish border.Israel said the strike was aimed at preventing a Turkish military buildup at the base and that it had intelligence showing Turkey was planning to deploy drones and a radar system there.Israel also warned that if preparations for the Turkish deployment didnt stop, it would take military action.During behind-the-scenes discussions between Israel, Syria and the U.S., the Syrian government denied any intention to allow the Turkish military to establish a presence at the base.  But Israel was unswayed and attacked the base in what it called a "warning shot." In recent days, Trump administration envoy Tom Barrack and other senior U.S. officials urged Israel, Turkey and Syria to resume dialogue. What theyre saying: The Israeli prime ministers office declined to comment and a spokesperson for al-Shaibani did not immediately respond to a request for comment.But on Wednesday, Al-Shaibani told Axios there "was no intention to establish a Turkish base there, nor to establish a permanent Turkish military presence or deploy Turkish forces at the site."  Al-Shaibani acknowledged that Turkish military officers visited the base several days before the Israeli strike but said it was part of "ongoing military cooperation in the areas of training and the exchange of expertise."He added that he relayed this to the Israeli government ahead of the strike, but the Israelis went ahead anyway. Al-Shaibani said Syria is still ready for negotiations with Israel to de-escalate and reach a new security agreement. "But de-escalation cannot be the responsibility of one side alone. Israel must also reassess its policy towards Syria and recognise that continued military operations and attacks will not deliver long-term security, but will instead increase instability," he said.
