U.S. Urges Coordination to Prevent Conflicts in Syria

Mossad chief Roman Gofman called Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani to discuss Turkey's military presence in Syria, four days before an Israeli strike on the Abu al-Duhur air base.
Turkey deployed over 20,000 troops to train Syrian forces after Bashar Assad's regime fell in December 2024.
Israel struck the Abu al-Duhur air base on August 18, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemning Turkey's military presence in Syria.
Democrats chairman Yair Golan criticized the strike as an unnecessary escalation, prioritizing political survival over security.
U.S. envoy Tom Barrack urged coordination among Israel, Syria, and Turkey to prevent clashes, building on deconfliction talks.
