LIVE UPDATES: Syrian Prime Minister Declares New Era for Country

This was one of the largest offensive operations in the history of the Israeli air force, the report said.

"Noting that it is important for the international community to support the Syrian people in restoring the infrastructure that has been lacking for many years, Minister Fidan said that efforts must be made to ensure the uninterrupted delivery of humanitarian aid to Syria," the source added.

"We addressed identical letters today upon instructions from the Syrian government to the Secretary General, to the Security Council, condemning this Israeli attack, asking the UN, calling upon the UN and the Security Council to shoulder the responsibility in maintaining international peace and security and to stop, put an end to the Israeli attacks on Syria, to not allow Israel to benefit from the transition that the Syrians are doing now in their country for their occupation agenda, to compel Israel to respect international law, international security council resolutions and the GA resolutions on ending the Israeli occupation of Syrian territories," the Syrian diplomat said.

The US also wants to engage with any organization that might have information about the whereabouts of journalist Austin Tice, who was kidnapped in August 2012 while reporting in Syria.

The Syrian lira remains the current national currency, the statement added.

Turkey will not abandon the Syrian people in the process of rebuilding the country and is ready to do so, the Turkish president added.

The opposition also proposes to dissolve all opposition associations, including the National Coalition of Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces and the Syrian Negotiation Commission, as well as to operate under a unified government and announce the formation of a transitional governing body.

There is hope that sanctions will be lifted from Syria and its people, but so far there are no concrete agreements, al-Jalali added.

Germany might consider subsidizing travel costs for the Syrian refugees willing to return home, the spokeswoman also said.

The minister added that Israel’s only interest is the security of its citizens.

Mohamad Bashir has been the head of the so-called "salvation government" formed by opposition forces in Idlib since January 2024.

"Russia is a very important player in the world, both regionally and internationally," Abdah said.

"UNHCR is aware of reports of Syrians returning from Lebanon to Syria, with some movements reported through the Masnaa border crossing in the Bekaa. We understand that official border crossings in northern Lebanon are currently closed, while returns are being reported via unofficial crossings in areas such as Wadi Khaled. According to the Lebanese General Security Office, measures have been announced to facilitate returns to Syria. It is important to note that immigration structures on the Syrian side are reportedly not currently functioning. UNHCR is also aware of thousands of Syrians fleeing Syria into Lebanon," the statement said.

The Syrian armed opposition command has also banned harassment of employees of state media, including threats against them.

It is vital that the human rights of all Syrians be at the center of such a process, through meaningful and inclusive participation, including of women and youth, Turk told reporters, adding that his office stands ready to support the transition process.
