Syrian Rebels Have Named A Caretaker Prime Minister To Lead A Transitional Government Until March 2025
Mohammed al-Bashir, who led a de-facto government led by opposition groups in Idlib and its surroundings, announced he will oversee a transitional government until March 1, 2025.
Syrian rebels have appointed Mohammed al-Bashir, a politician closely associated with them, as the country's caretaker prime minister after they toppled president Bashar al-Assad.
Abu Mohammed al-Julani, the leader of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group that led the offensive that ended the regime, had met with outgoing prime minister Mohammed Ghazi al-Jalali on Monday, Dec. 8, to discuss the transition into a caretaker government.
On Dec. 10, during a televised address al-Bashir, who led the Syrian Salvation Government (SSG), a de-facto government led by opposition groups in Idlib and its surroundings, announced he will oversee a transitional government until March 1, 2025.
Al-Bashir is closely associated with (HTS).
In his speech, al-Bashir said the Syrian Salvation Government and the government of the ousted regime had held a meeting to ensure a peaceful transition of government institutions.
The rebels’ appointment of a caretaker government comes during a critical time for Syria as Israel has been attacking Syrian military sites after it announced it had “temporarily” seized control of a buffer zone between the two countries in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
Since Dec. 8, Israeli troops have been pushing deeper into Syrian land, taking control of the mountain summit of Mount Hermon and other villages in Syria and attacking Syrian military sites more than 480 times.
