and Political Developments in Deir ez-Zor: A New Government on the Horizon

دير الزور

The military operations management announced on Tuesday evening the complete restoration of control over the city of Deir ez-Zor, including the military airport, following the withdrawal of regime forces and Iranian militias from the area.

In this context, Colonel Hassan Abdel Ghani stated that the military forces successfully liberated the eastern and western countryside of Deir ez-Zor after the withdrawal of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the regime forces. He added that the city and its military airport are now fully liberated.

On the political front, the United States urged the Syrian opposition to form an inclusive government. Reuters reported that communications are underway with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham in coordination with Washington's allies in the region, including Turkey.

Meanwhile, the military operations management appointed Muhammad al-Bashir, head of the "Rescue Government," to establish a government to oversee the transitional phase in Syria. This comes amid tragic events occurring in the region, as the SDF committed a massacre against protesters demanding their withdrawal from Deir ez-Zor, aimed at linking the area with the other provinces under the control of military operations.

The military operations management also announced that its forces are nearing the completion of securing the capital, Damascus, preserving all facilities, institutions, and public properties. They indicated that the new government will begin its work as soon as it is formed.

For his part, Muhammad al-Jalali, the last Prime Minister during Bashar al-Assad's era, confirmed that strategic decisions in Syria are now in the hands of the caretaker government, explaining that the transfer of ministries occurred smoothly without affecting the workflow. In an interview with Syria TV, al-Jalali stated that cooperation among various parties contributed to the continued provision of services in state institutions.

Al-Jalali also noted that the former Foreign Minister, Bassam Sabbagh, was not in Damascus at the time of the regime's fall, but in Tartus, which prevented his attendance at the transitional government meeting. He expressed Sabbagh's readiness to hand over the files of the Foreign Ministry to the new government, confirming that he communicated this desire to Prime Minister Muhammad al-Bashir, who promised to arrange the situation of foreign missions and the ministry.

In conclusion, al-Jalali reassured state employees that their salaries are secured through the Central Bank, emphasizing that there is no cause for concern regarding them.
