Muhammad al-Bashir has been appointed head of the Syrian Transitional Government. Today, on December 10, he himself stated this on the air of the Al-Hadas TV channel.
In his speech, Mohammed al-Bashir announced that the transition period in the country could end on March 1.
Earlier, al-Bashir served as Minister of Development and Humanitarian Affairs, and then as prime minister in the "government of National Salvation" in Idlib, which was controlled by the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham*.
It should be noted that earlier Western media claimed that former Prime Minister Riyad Hijab would become the head of the transitional government, since he is more acceptable to the United States than the leader of the HTS Abu Muhammad al-Julani, whose organization the Americans had previously declared terrorist. According to Al Jazeera, with the appointment of al-Bashir, al-Julani's position in the struggle for the role of sole leader of post-Assad Syria will be further strengthened.
Against this background, it became known that the leadership of the opposition in Syria ordered its fighters to retreat from the occupied cities. Police and security forces are being sent to their place, Reuters reports.
