Syria's Emerging Interim Government and Ongoing Conflict

In what marks another chapter in Syria’s turbulent civil war, a new presidential caretaker has been appointed amidst a fragile peace process. Muhammad Al Basher—a relatively obscure figure with ties to Islamist rebel groups—has been named Syria’s interim prime minister, tasked with steering the country until March 2025.
