[Damascus] Syria’s interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa has issued a decree establishing the National Security Council, appointing himself as its head, as the country grapples with ongoing unrest, armed conflicts, and persistent Israeli incursions following the collapse of the Assad regime.
A media source from the Syrian presidency told The Media Line that the formation of the National Security Council, chaired by al-Sharaa, aims to coordinate and manage Syria’s security and political policies during this period of heightened instability.
