Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa announced a transitional government on Saturday, marking a key milestone in the country’s shift away from decades of Assad family rule and aimed at improving Syria's relations with the West.
Syria’s new Islamist-led authorities have been under pressure from the West and Arab countries to establish a government that reflects the country’s diverse ethnic and religious communities. This push for inclusivity intensified after the killings of hundreds of Alawite civilians—members of the minority sect from which former leader Bashar al-Assad hails—during violence along Syria’s western coast earlier this month.
Murhaf Abu Qasra and Asaad al-Shibani continue to serve as Defence and Foreign Ministers, respectively, roles they held under the previous caretaker cabinet established after Assad was toppled in December.
Sharaa, who was appointed interim president in January, has pledged to build inclusive public institutions and oversee the country until elections, which he estimates could take up to five years to hold. Unlike previous administrations, the transitional government will not have a prime minister, with Sharaa expected to directly lead the executive branch.
Earlier this month, Syria issued a constitutional declaration to serve as the foundation for the transitional period under Sharaa’s leadership. The declaration maintains a central role for Islamic law while also guaranteeing women’s rights and freedom of expression.
Analysts view the formation of this transitional government as a significant step toward stabilizing Syria and fostering better relations with the international community.
