Syrians are celebrating the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad, with a new caretaker prime minister, Mohammad Al-Bashir, appointed to lead the transition. This government will include both rebel and former Assad-era officials until March 2025. The U.S. has stated it will recognize a new Syrian government chosen by the people, provided it respects minority rights and prevents terrorism. This marks a shift in U.S. policy following Assad's fall. Meanwhile, Israel has conducted extensive military strikes in Syria, claiming to target strategic weapon stockpiles. Regional leaders have condemned Israel's actions, accusing it of land grabs in the Golan Heights.
