Syria’s de facto leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, has revealed that organising elections could take up to four years, with drafting a new constitution requiring two to three years. Speaking to Al Arabiya, he stressed the importance of expert input and moving away from factional governance to build a unified state.
Addressing regional security, Sharaa assured neighbouring countries that Syria would not serve as a platform for cross-border attacks. He also outlined plans for a national dialogue conference, where the dissolution of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham would be discussed, as part of a broader strategy for long-term stability.
Sharaa expressed optimism about improved relations with the United States under President-elect Donald Trump, including the lifting of sanctions and the removal of a $10 million bounty on his head.
