Senior Israeli and Syrian officials held a direct meeting aimed at calming regional tensions following an Israeli airstrike on a Syrian airbase last week. The meeting included Syrian Foreign Minister Assad al-Sheibani and Mossad Chief Ronen Gofman, marking a rare high-level contact amid escalating hostilities between the two countries. Despite the meeting's significance, the Israeli Prime Minister's office declined to comment on the report revealed by Axios, and no immediate response was received from the Syrian Foreign Ministry spokesperson.

This encounter is part of broader diplomatic efforts behind the scenes to prevent further security deterioration in the region. Alongside these direct talks, regional actors such as Azerbaijan are working to revive operational coordination mechanisms previously established in Baku, aiming to avoid miscalculations that could ignite wider conflict. These initiatives also complement various international mediation attempts focused on stabilizing the Syrian arena.
