The new prime minister promised: Calm and more stability for all Syrians  - 1

The new Prime Minister of Syria Mohammed al-Bashir, who is responsible for the transition in power after the fall of Bashar Assad, promised peace and stability to the Syrians, reported France Press, quoted by BTA.

The words of the new prime minister were also supported by Abu Mohammed al-Jowlani - leader of the radical Islamist group "Hayat Tahrir al-Sham", which is at the head of the rebel coalition that overthrew Assad after his lightning offensive.

"People are exhausted by the war. The country is not ready for a new war and it will not come to one," Al Jaulani told "Sky News".

After Assad fled to Russia and the rebels entered Damascus, life in the Syrian capital has now returned to normal and shops have reopened. For many Syrians, however, the priority remains the search for missing relatives who have been overtaken by the decades of brutal repression by Assad, notes AFP.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said the United States will fully recognize and support the future Syrian government that will be formed as a result of an inclusive political process.

"It is time for these people to enjoy stability and peace and know that their government is there to provide them with the services they need," Syria's new prime minister, Mohammed al-Bashir, told "Al Jazeera".

He is already chairing a meeting between the new ministers and ministers from the ousted Assad government. "The mission of the new interim government is to preserve the stability of the institutions and avoid the collapse of the state," Bashir said.

Bashir has been appointed by the general command of the rebel coalition as prime minister, who will lead the transitional government until March 1. He was born in 1983, and in recent years has headed the administration of the rebels in Idlib - their bastion in the northwestern part of the country.

On November 27, with the help of allied factions, "Hayat Tahrir al-Sham" launched a lightning offensive that brought down the Assad government and allowed the rebel coalition to seize most of the country.

Last night, the rebels announced that they had captured another city in the eastern part of the country - Deir Ez Zor. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that Kurdish forces had withdrawn to surrounding towns.

The movement "Hayat Tahrir al-Sham" is the former Syrian wing of the "Al Qaeda" group. The movement claims to have broken with jihadism, while Western countries, including the United States, classify it as a terrorist organization, AFP also noted.
