Syria's new caretaker government aims to stabilize the country under Mohammed al-Bashir

Syria's new caretaker government, led by Mohammed al-Bashir, aims to stabilize the country after the fall of President Bashar al-Assad's regime. Al-Bashir, previously head of the Syrian Salvation Government, will oversee basic services until March 1. The caretaker government consists of ministers from the Syrian Salvation Government. Experts express concerns about HTS's potential power consolidation and the need for a clear transition plan to ensure broader political participation and legitimacy. Syria's economy faces significant challenges, with HTS previously raising funds through taxes. The group's ability to provide essential services remains uncertain, and experts suggest that sharing power could help improve its standing with the international community.
