Situation in Syria
At the end of November 2024, the conflict in Syria reignited with renewed intensity. Large-scale clashes erupted between Islamist rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the Syrian National Army, and Bashar al-Assad’s forces.
Recent reports indicate that Syrian Prime Minister Mohammed al-Jalali expressed readiness to cooperate with any leadership chosen by the people. This statement followed reports of rebels entering Damascus.
It has also been confirmed that President Bashar al-Assad departed the Syrian capital on Sunday, fleeing in an aircraft to an unknown destination.
