Syria's newly appointed interim prime minister has pledged to repatriate millions of refugees while safeguarding citizens and providing essential services. However, the leader admits that the country's dire financial situation poses significant difficulties.

In a challenging geopolitical landscape, rebel-led forces, now in power after ousting President Bashar al-Assad, are under U.S. pressure to form an inclusive transitional government, emphasizing minority rights and humanitarian efforts. The U.S. continues to engage cautiously with rebel groups, balancing counter-terrorism strategies in the region.

Syria faces a monumental rebuilding task with cities devastated by war and millions displaced. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes on Syrian military bases introduce further security complexities, amid concerns from international actors such as Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
