Rebuilding Syria: U.S. Role and Rebel Strategies for a New State

Syrian rebels have taken control of the Damascus governorate building, symbolizing a shift in power from Bashar al-Assad's regime to the rebel-led Syrian Salvation Government. The new administration, led by technocrats like Mohammad Yasser Ghazal, is working to dismantle the corrupt and inefficient state apparatus left by the Assad dynasty. Despite concerns about the leading rebel group HTS's Islamist roots, the new government aims to unify Syria and address systemic corruption, while seeking international recognition and overcoming its terrorist designation.
