The formation of Syria’s new government, initially delayed by almost a month, has now been unveiled and officially sworn in. Replacing the interim government that followed the removal of Bashar al-Assad, this is the country’s first government in its five-year transitional period. The 23-member cabinet exhibits religious and ethnic diversity, however, it is predominantly composed of Ahmad al-Sharaa’s close allies.

Additionally, this Sunday marks Syria’s inaugural Eid al-Fitr holiday since the conclusion of half a century of Assad family rule. Vedika Ba-hel provides insights into the nation’s plans for these celebrations.
