Mossad Chief Meets Syrian Foreign Minister in Rare Security Dialogue to Ease Tensions

A rare meeting took place on Sunday between Mossad Chief Ronen Gofman and Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal al-Miqdad, aimed at reducing tensions and preventing further security deterioration between Israel and Syria. The talks occurred just days after the Israeli Air Force struck a military base in Syria, an action that escalated hostilities and heightened alertness in their bilateral relations. According to sources cited by Axios, the discussion was constructive, with both sides agreeing to continue dialogue to restore security contacts to their previous course. The Prime Minister's office in Jerusalem declined to comment officially, and the Syrian Foreign Ministry also did not respond to requests for comment.
