Syria says it holds talks with Israel in Jordan on Sunday focused on de-escalation after recent Israeli strikes. Both sources report that the discussions also address steps to keep Syria out of wider tensions involving Israel and Turkey.
The talks come after an earlier January agreement between Syria and Israel to establish an intelligence-sharing mechanism as they move toward a broader security arrangement. The reporting also links the latest round of contact to Israeli actions in Syria, including an airbase strike in the northwest that Israel describes as part of efforts to prevent the situation from escalating.
While the outlets describe the same core agenda—de-escalation and avoiding Syria being drawn into Israel-Turkey disputes—one source adds further detail about the specific Israeli strike that preceded the talks. Both accounts, however, attribute the discussions to Syria’s efforts to manage the security situation and limit spillover between regional actors.
