Syrian and Jordanian foreign ministers met in Damascus on Monday, November 9, 2026, for the first time since Jordanian airstrikes in southern Syria last month resulted in civilian deaths. The two nations announced a joint investigation into the incident and signed 11 new cooperation agreements. Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shibani stated that Jordan had shown understanding and openness toward resolving the incident, which occurred in the Daraa Governorate. He added that a joint security and technical committee had been formed to investigate the airstrikes.
Jordan maintained that its airstrikes on October 26 targeted Islamic State militants in retaliation for a deadly attack on a church in Jordan's Karak Governorate. Syrian authorities reported that the strikes killed seven civilians, including three children. At a joint press conference, Al-Shibani said efforts were underway to compensate the innocent victims, while his Jordanian counterpart, Ayman Safadi, expressed condolences and affirmed the strong bilateral relationship.
The meeting aimed to overcome a rare diplomatic challenge for Damascus and Amman, who have expanded their political, economic, and security cooperation since the removal of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in December 2024. Al-Shibani described the bilateral relations as being at their strongest in decades, highlighting the signing of 11 cooperation documents covering investment, civil aviation, food security, a cloud-seeding project on the Yarmouk River basin, and a railway project connecting Saudi Arabia and Turkey via Jordan and Syria.
Trade between the two countries has nearly tripled in the past year, reaching $330 million. Al-Shibani noted that 20 out of 22 Syrian ministries are currently engaged in direct cooperation with Jordan. Safadi added that both nations are collaborating to combat drug smuggling along their shared border, a long-standing security concern. He also reiterated Jordan's support for Syria against Israeli attacks, urging international intervention to halt them and prevent further regional escalation.
