Syria's interim leadership, under President Ahmed al-Sharaa, has established a national security council tasked with coordinating security and political policies. This decision is a direct response to the ongoing violence resulting from an uprising instigated by loyalists of the former president Bashar Assad. The council, which includes key ministers and appointed advisors, aims to stabilize the country after a recent wave of fatal confrontations that has led to thousands of civilian deaths, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict.
"The council will make decisions on challenges facing the state, including coordinating and managing security and political policies," the Syrian president's office said on Telegram.
The decision comes as al-Sharaa's forces battle an uprising carried out by loyalists of ousted leader Bashar Assad, resulting in significant civilian casualties.
