TL;DR
The United States is mediating amid rising tensions after Israel's strike on the Abu al-Duhur base in Syria, urging restraint and dialogue among Israel, Turkey, and Syria while reaffirming Israel's right to defend itself and Syria's sovereignty. Washington says it remains in contact with all three countries through multiple channels and is facilitating talks, including a meeting between Mossad chief Roman Gofman and Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani in Jordan, to prevent wider confrontation as Israeli activity continues in southern Syria.
