⚡️🇸🇾 Syrian Cabinet Set For Imminent Reshuffle

Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa is planning changes to the government to make the executive body more legitimate "in a matter of days, or a couple of weeks", two senior officials in the current administration told The National.

The cabinet change comes after the US made it clear that radical elements must be sidelined if America’s relationship with Syria is to improve.

A new cabinet would put the government on a more sound legal footing because the current 20-member cabinet was installed in the political vacuum. Furthermore almost all of the ministers are closely linked with Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham.

Among the controversial figures in the current government is Justice Minister Shadi Al-Waisi. A video shows him as one of several men overseeing the public execution of a woman in Syria in 2015.

❗️Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shibani will keep his position because he is a protege of Al-Sharaa and a main moderate public figure in the administration.
