In an unexpected move, Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) leader Abu Mohammed Al-Jolani has announced that institutions in Damascus will now operate under the supervision of Syrian Prime Minister Hussein Arnous. This shift includes an order for anti-Assad militants to steer clear of these establishments.
Prime Minister Arnous responded promptly, declaring his willingness to cooperate with the newly designated authorities in Damascus.
In a notable addition to his statement, Jolani emphasized, "Firing into the air is also prohibited," signaling a push for stability and discipline amidst the changes.
This development suggests a significant political and operational shift in the Syrian conflict, potentially reshaping alliances and power structures in the region.
