Syria and Israel held talks in Jordan on Sunday to ease tensions between the two countries, according to Syria’s state news agency, days after Israel struck an air base in Syrian territory.

The talks, mediated by the United States, focused on creating mechanisms to stop Israeli operations on Syrian territory and on reviving talks about a security agreement between Syria and Israel, according to the news agency, SANA, citing an official at the Syrian Foreign Ministry.

The Syrian delegation was led by Asaad al-Shaibani, the foreign minister, and included the heads of Syria’s general intelligence and military intelligence agencies, SANA noted.

Israeli officials have not publicly commented on the talks and did not immediately respond to requests for further information.

The two sides also discussed efforts to prevent tensions between Turkey and Israel — both of which neighbor Syria — from spilling over into Syrian territory, SANA reported. The Israeli strikes on the Syrian air base last week followed a visit by a Turkish delegation to the airfield as part of discussions to rehabilitate the site, according to Syrian and Israeli officials.

The talks on Sunday were the latest sign that President Ahmed al-Sharaa of Syria was open to diplomacy with Israel, a stark departure from his predecessors, who maintained a decades-long hostility toward the country. Mr. al-Sharaa’s government first engaged with Israel in U.S.-brokered back-channel discussions last year — the first such talks in more than a decade.
