Mossad Chief and Syrian Foreign Minister Meet in Jordan After Airbase Strike

Mossad director Roman Gofman and Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani met in Jordan on Sunday in an effort to reduce tensions, according to two sources with knowledge of the meeting. The talks came days after an Israeli strike on a Syrian airbase sharply increased tensions between Israel and Syria. The face-to-face meeting followed a phone call between the two officials earlier in the week over reported Turkish military activity in Syria. The report did not specify the meeting's agenda, outcome or exact time; the Prime Minister's Office declined to comment, while al-Shaibani's spokesperson did not immediately respond.
