Syrian PM expresses readiness to coordinate with rebels after Assad's departure

Syrian Prime Minister Mohammed Ghazi Jalali announced a willingness to coordinate with rebels following the departure of Bashar al-Assad, who fled to Russia. He claimed that most cabinet ministers are still working in Damascus despite the ongoing conflict. Jalali stated that the security situation has improved and expressed readiness to meet with rebel leader Ahmad al-Sharaa. However, many government officials have fled, and the public sector is largely paralyzed, with essential services disrupted. In Damascus, residents began to adjust to the new reality, with some shops reopening. Rebel forces reassured citizens of their intentions, emphasizing tolerance and stating they would not impose dress codes on women.
