Syria’s new government, which is led by Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), is working to solidify its control over the country despite facing many challenges and threats.
On December 9, Mohammed al-Bashir was appointed as Syria’s new interim prime minister until March 1 of next year.
The first task of the government was to confront instability and tensions created by the surprising fall of the Assad regime. The HTS-led Military Operation Department (MOD) stepped up its efforts to secure the territories formerly ruled by the regime, especially the capital, Damascus, and the cities of Hama, Homs, Tartus and Latakia.
The MOD also worked to expand its controls within Syria, heading east towards the city of Deir Ezzor which was handed over the now dissolved Syrian Arab Army (SAA) to the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) just before Assad fell.
On December 10, MOD forces captured Deir Ezzor city. The SDF was forced to withdraw as a result of mass protests. The United States, the main backer of the SDF, also refused to protect the group’s new territories.
Besides the city of Deir Ezzor, the MOD took control of several towns in the northern countryside of Deir Ezzor and all the towns in the southern countryside on the western bank of the Euphrates River down to the al-Qa’im crossing on the border with Iraq.
In the governorate of al-Suwayda, local Druze armed factions are still in control. However, they appear to be in agreement with the new government.
And in the governorate of Daraa, local factions from the former Free Syrian Army are still in control. On December 11, faction leaders met with the leadership of HTS in Damascus to discuss the future of the region.
he biggest threat to Syria’s new government remains Israel. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) continues to advance in the governorate of al-Qunitra, with its forces reportedly entering the Druze town of Hader by December 11.
Israeli troops also pushed deeper into the governorate of Rif Dimashq, reaching the town of Dimas, which is located a few kilometers to the west of the capital Damascus.
In addition, the Israeli Air Force intensified its strikes on SAA equipment and bases. 70 to 80% of the country’s capabilities were reported destroyed.
The targets included many long-range projectiles, Scud missiles, cruise missiles, coast-to-sea missiles, air defense missiles, fighter jets, helicopters, radars, tanks, hangars, and over a dozen naval vessels.
Overall, Syria is still far from being stable. The new government will have to deal with many challenges, first and foremost the ones coming from Israel, before it could even address key issues like economy, security and social stability. All of this will not likely be possible if HTS refused to share power.

general colani is the greatest arab leader of all time.
general colani has announced that there is no alternative to sharia!
general colani calls for international support to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe
in your fetid dreams, does your nose job plastic surgery turn out ok ?
so…isis flag and french mandate flag. hmmmmmmmm……..
its a colonial project after all. the turks took over alongside with their friend israel they sold assad out.
exactly only arabs and muslims could be that stupid
bye bye syria, a border demilitarized zone between powers will be established there. i wonder what will happen with russian bases located there? 🤔 russia will lose their fingerprint on the mediterranean sea? 🤔
who cares ? certainly not these poor wretches getting executed daily.
russia had some idea what was coming and chose to do nothing, that is why a couple weeks ago the iranian press was saying that russia was weak and a wishy washy ally.
other than putins passivity and timidness nothing was stopping the russians from occupying a couple provinces just like the turks, and jews are doing, its simply a matter of will which is in very short supply in moscow.
again, the green light from tel aviv is required for any action on their part 😕. can’t upset the status quo.
absolute irrelevant theatre . the pope’s jesuit barracks named him the rule of law he meant universally no one has refuted or denied that if you know of some relevant authority that has then name them .
by papal.bull spain owns half of the world. the border of western australia and australia is part of the boundary they laid out a flat map of earth and with a compass drew a circle which includes that border everything inside that circle was given to portugal and everything outside to spain. by rule of papal authority by papal bull .the bull ok. wake up wake up .get off the narcotic .
you really believe that tripe?
jibber jibber slibber
govt in north amerika bad comedy
israhell’s nutnyahoo and the barking natostan dog in ankara are too stupid to understand what they have spawned. the i$i$ reptiles will wreak havoc and the return of the human bomber inside occupied palestine is but weeks if not days away. when you plant the seeds of evil expect a harvest of evil and we all know that the turkey and the zionazis have a shitload of karma coming.
you are wrong, collapsing the enemy goverment means that you have one less enemy to worry about. but israel is expanding so fast their military and occupying the new territories so they could implode in the midterm, unless the empire will help them to manage the abandoned syria. and they will help israel, wait and you will see how the international community will raise the head of the snake goverment in syria, aligned to the empire and aligned with israel. grab some popcorn to see the old movie.
so reuters has fooled mercouris again (admittedly easy thing to do) by claiming that the ex-prime minister has blamed assad for double-dealing. the ex-prime minister and most of the other ministers are on the cia/mossad payroll so don’t expect them to say anything other then party line.
what is the history of nations ??? the perish at the hands of fools !!!
arabs/ muslims clearly are the dumbest creatures on earth in both libya and syria in the name of “revolution” they fly the banner of colonizers then give away land and resources to crusaders and zionists while praying to fake sky god allah
it does not matter who is in power!!!! islam = garbage in garbage out
that’s right israel is plowing that syria in azz, by you jewish masters. we will jizz down th azz of shilldren.
will russia and iran launch a counter or not worth the resources for assad
so get this straight since the birth of islam they have been butchering people to death in the name of allah first it was the local tribes in arabia and surrounding area now they are crying poor cause a more powerful army is doing the same you people in the west are defending this vile religion. you should do well not to forget history of this religion.
the west seems to overlook this curse on the holy land every where they go death of people and desert follow. the koran is a fraud book also taking from local pagan tribes and the torah and the bible.
the current government of syria are just terrorist rebranded if they where good for syria then why does no one want to go back to there country.
as for the jews they are just as barbarous as islam read the talmud and koran and see what and how they speak about jesus and other none jews and muslims.
the only holy book i have read that promotes peace and love is the bible. its says 16 for god so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. what greater love is there in this world that god gave himself to die for our sins so that we become sons of god12 but as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of god, even to them that believe on his name
1 and when he had found him, he brought him unto antioch. and it came to pass that for a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught many people. and the disciples were called christians first in antioch.
