UK Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner welcomed the news, criticizing Assad's regime for its brutality. She emphasized the need for a political resolution and protection for civilians in the region. Assad reportedly fled Damascus as rebels entered the capital. The situation raises concerns for regional stability, especially with the influence of the group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, which has ties to past extremist affiliations.
