Syria’s new interim leader Mohammed al-Bashir has called for “stability and calm” as he is now the caretaker Prime Minister and will lead until 1 March 2025.
Al-Bashir who had governed a small area in northwest Syria that was rebel controlled during Basar al-Assad’s reign.
“Today we had a meeting for the cabinet and we invited members from the old government and some directors from the administration in Idlib and its surrounding areas, in order to facilitate all the necessary works for the next two months until we have a constitutional system to be able to serve the Syrian people,” he told Al Jazeera.
“We had other meetings to restart the institutions to be able to serve our people in Syria.”
“Now it is time for this people to enjoy stability and calm,” he added.
Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, the head of Hayat Tahrir al Sham (HTS), told Sky News in his first comments to Western press, there will be “no return to panic” now that they have overthrown the oppressive Assad regime.
“The country will be rebuilt,” he said. “The fear was from the presence of the regime. The country is moving towards development and reconstruction. It’s going towards stability.
“People are exhausted from war. So the country isn’t ready for another one and it’s not going to get into another one.”
The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned HTS in Syria not to follow the Assad regime by allowing Iran to have control in the region.
“If this regime allows Iran to re-establish itself in Syria, or permits the transfer of Iranian weapons or any other weapons to Hezbollah, or if it attacks us — we will respond forcefully, and we will exact a heavy price,” Netanyahu said in a video statement.
“What happened to the previous regime will happen to this one.”
