A meeting between the leaders of the military factions in Syria with the leader of the new Syrian administration, Ahmad al-Sharaa, resulted in an agreement to dissolve all the factions and merge them under the umbrella of the Ministry of Defense, the official Syrian news agency SANA reported, citing the military operations room and sources affiliated with the Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group.

Al-Sharaa said on Sunday in a press conference in Damascus with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, that there will be no weapons in the hands of anyone other than the new Syrian state, whether from the factions that led an offensive that ousted the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad or from the factions present in the regions controlled by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces.
