Syrian Prime Minister Al-Jalali And HTS Leader Al-Jolani Agree On Submission Of Power
JAKARTA - Leaders of the rebels and prime ministers of the Syrian government have ousted their agreement on handing over power, coordinating to ensure services to the community.
A video shared by the rebels on Monday showed the leader of the main rebel group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) Abu Mohammad al-Jolani and Prime Minister of Innovation Government linked to HTS, Mohammed al-Bashir, meeting with Prime Minister Mohammad Ghazi al-Jalali who will step down.
The rebels said the meeting aimed at "coordinating the transfer of power in a way ensuring the provision of services to our people in Syria," quoted by CNN December 10.
"Decisions have not been made regarding the transitional prime minister. There are talks today between Jolani, Mohammed al-Bashir and the current prime minister. The talks take place at Hotel Four Seasons," a source familiar with the talks told CNN.
"Al-Bashir is the prime minister of the Conservation Government associated with HTS, which manages the rebel-held Idlib region in northern Syria," he continued.
Meanwhile, PM Jalali told Al Arabiya TV he had agreed to hand over power to the Conservation Government. He stated the handover of power could take several days, as quoted by Reuters.
Separately, al-Golani also reportedly met with Vice President Faisal Mekdad to discuss the transitional government, sources familiar with the discussions told Reuters. Golani has promised to rebuild Syria.

Earlier, Syrian rebels said they had ousted President Assad's government after seizing control of Damascus on Sunday, ending his family's autocratic rule for decades after more than 13 years of civil war.
Later, Assad and his family were found to be in Russia. The Kremlin said the asylum decision was given by President Vladimir Putin.
It is known that this imminent transfer of power follows a 13-year civil war and the end of a brutal government for more than 50 years by the Assad family, which makes Syrians at home and millions of refugees abroad hope, but is very unsure about the future of their country.
