Sharaa emphasized the necessity of reconstructing Syria's legal framework in order to facilitate legitimate elections, which would also include conducting a comprehensive population census. Highlighting the complexities of governance in a nation marked by its ethnic diversity, Sharaa acknowledged the challenges faced by HTS as they transition from their past association with jihadist ideologies. He expressed confidence that the HTS will be "dissolved" during an upcoming national dialogue conference, a critical event that may test the leadership's commitment to national unity after over a decade of civil strife.
Amidst evolving political dynamics, Sharaa defended his government's appointments as necessary for inclusivity in a multi-ethnic society consisting of various religious and ethnic groups, including Kurds, Armenians, and Alawite Shia. Additionally, reports from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights indicated a recent crackdown on Assad loyalists, leading to nearly 300 arrests, showcasing the ongoing tensions as the nation navigates its path toward a reformed governance structure.
As Syria prepares for a potentially transformative period, the importance of upholding the rights of all its citizens remains paramount.
