A meeting held on Sunday between Israeli and Syrian officials "went well" amid ongoing efforts to lower tensions between the two countries, a source familiar with the meeting told The Jerusalem Post.
Those in attendance included Mossad chief Roman Gofman and Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani, according to N12 News.
The meeting came after comments from al-Shaibani to Reuters on Saturday, in which he urged Israel to seize a "historic opportunity" for diplomacy.
"We believe there should be contact, especially with a party that constantly threatens the security of Syria. But if this contact doesn’t bring results, then we don’t need it," he said. "We do not trust Israel currently."
Al-Shaibani's comments follow Israel's strike against Syria's Abu al-Duhur military airfield on Tuesday.
Two sources told the Post on Saturday that the strike was intended to prevent the placement of a Turkish radar and air defense system.
This is a developing story.
