The head of the Syrian Negotiations Commission, Badr Jamous, called on Tuesday for a comprehensive national conference to be organized by a transitional government tasked with drafting a new constitution reflecting the aspirations of the Syrian people. 

Speaking at the United Nations Security Council, Jamous emphasized the need for a referendum on the new constitution and progress toward free and fair elections in a safe and neutral environment under UN supervision.

"It is time to lift the economic sanctions imposed on Syria and increase humanitarian and relief support to rebuild the country," Jamous asserted.

He expressed the Commission's readiness to cooperate with the current authorities in Damascus to build a new Syria. Jamous urged the formation of an inclusive transitional national government representing all segments of Syrian society, ensuring significant roles for women and youth.

Highlighting the importance of UN Security Council Resolution 2254, adopted in 2015, he described it as a roadmap to meet the Syrian people's aspirations. He also stressed the urgent need to establish a fund to support refugees and displaced persons wishing to return to Syria.

The Syrian Negotiations Commission, established in December 2015, represents a broad spectrum of Syrian opposition groups. It is recognized by the UN as the sole representative of the Syrian opposition in UN-led negotiation processes.

Al-Sharaa calls for social contract between gov, sects

Syria's new leader Ahmad al-Sharaa, more commonly known as Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, said on Tuesday during a meeting with a delegation representing the country's Druze population that Syria must remain unified.

During the meeting, al-Sharaa stressed that the new government must have the mentality of a country rather than an opposition, highlighting that a "social contract must exist between the state and all communities to ensure social justice" and guarantee a unified Syria. 

"What matters to us is that there should be no sectarian quotas or any particularism that leads to separation. We manage affairs from an institutional and legal standpoint, and we strive to achieve the best for the Syrian people," he further stated. 

On his part, the Druze delegation confirmed their loyalty to the nation, saying they would only be part of Syria.

Al-Sharaa further noted the need for unity and collaboration among all Syrians given the country's "exhausting" state and the vast scale of destruction. "We need the efforts of all Syrians, both inside and outside the country. It is essential to work with a spirit of teamwork."

He also reiterated that factions will be dissolved and that fighters will be prepared to join the Ministry of Defense, with everyone being subject to the law.
