Mohammad Al-Bashir, the former Prime Minister of the HTS-controlled Syrian Salvation Government (SSG) in Idlib, has been tasked with forming a new Syrian government to manage the country's transitional phase. This decision follows meetings aimed at establishing mechanisms for a peaceful transition of power and preventing chaos in Syria. Al-Bashir, who has been involved in Syrian politics since January 13, 2024, when he became the fifth Prime Minister of the SSG, is expected to oversee the transition after the fall of the Assad regime.
