A group of political forces, societal organizations, and national figures within Syria issued a statement outlining their position on the recent developments in the Syrian arena and their vision for the country's political transition.
The domestic forces condemned in their statement "the wide-scale Israeli aggression on Syrian territory, the occupation of various regions, and the destruction of the Syrian army's capabilities," considering it an imminent threat while also denouncing "the international community's silence regarding this aggression."
The group called for the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 2254 to organize the political process in a manner that aligns "with the new reality that necessitates the inclusion of all national Syrian forces from political parties, civil society groups, and influential and active figures."
They also urged "Arab countries concerned with Syria’s unity, both its land and people, to confront the Israeli aggression on southern Syria by all means, including the possibility of sending Arab forces to prevent this occupation."
The forces emphasized that the rhetoric of Ahmad al-Sharaa, also known as Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, which affirms "the unity of Syrian territory, the preservation of state institutions, the non-sectarian nature of the Syrian state, the prohibition of sectarian incitement, the sanctity of Syrian blood, the cessation of hostilities across all Syrian land, and the preservation of security, civil peace, and the protection of freedoms" requires practical implementation through clear and publicly declared steps to alleviate the concerns and fears of the people, due to certain violations and practices in various areas that contradict the declared speech.
The statement was signed by 43 entities, both individuals and organizations, representing diverse segments of the Syrian public.
It is noteworthy that the Military Operations Administration in Syria announced Monday in a statement that "the new government will begin its work immediately after its formation."
The administration urged the public to "disregard false reports claiming the existence of underground or hidden prisons," emphasizing that "all prisons in Syria have been fully opened."
It also announced the arrest of some people who were inciting sectarianism among the crowds and threatening citizens and minorities, vowing to deal firmly with "any attempts to sow discord or issue threats, as the homeland belongs to everyone, and we will preserve its unity and the security of its citizens."
