The newly appointed head of Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency, Roman Gofman, reportedly held a meeting with Syrian Foreign Minister Aasaad al-Shiban, according to France’s news agency. Sources indicate the discussion centered on multiple issues, notably the potential establishment of a joint “special operations room” in Jordan. The proposed room would be overseen by the United States, suggesting a collaborative effort between the involved parties. This meeting marks a significant, albeit discreet, development in relations between Israel and Syria, which have been historically fraught with tension. Details surrounding the purpose and scope of this “special operations room” remain unclear, but it points to potential cooperation on regional security matters. The talks suggest a possible backchannel attempt to de-escalate conflicts or address shared concerns in the region. This development could indicate a shift in dynamics with US involvement as a key factor.
