Syria faces uncertainty after Assad's regime collapses following HTS offensive

President Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria has collapsed following a rapid offensive by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), marking the end of over two decades of Ba’athist rule. This sudden change raises concerns about the country's future stability. HTS leader Ahmed al-Sharaa has announced a transitional authority, with Prime Minister Mohammed al-Jalali as caretaker. However, the ability to govern a divided nation remains uncertain amid fears of further unrest. The fall of Assad impacts foreign powers, notably Russia and Iran, which have supported his regime. Turkey's role is unclear, while Israel is on alert due to the rise of HTS. International reactions include Saudi Arabia's diplomatic efforts and Germany's call for a political solution.
