Damascus: Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Sheibani met with Mossad chief Roman Gofman in an attempt to contain escalating tensions between Damascus and Tel Aviv.

According to National news agency - Lebanon, the meeting was reported by Axios on Sunday and was aimed at addressing the growing friction between the two countries.
