Palestinian factions, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, have reacted to the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria, expressing hopes for continued support for the Palestinian cause and emphasizing the internal nature of Syria's political changes.


Palestinian Factions React to the Overthrow of Assad

In a significant political shift, the regime of ousted President Bashar al-Assad has fallen after nearly five decades of rule in Syria. The Islamic Resistance Movement, known as Hamas, has publicly congratulated the Syrian armed opposition for their success, expressing hopes for a united Syrian front that continues to support the Palestinian cause. In a statement, Hamas emphasized the importance of national cohesion among the Syrian people, urging them to rise above past grievances and work towards a future of freedom and justice.

Hamas condemned the ongoing Israeli aggression against Syrian territories, reaffirming its commitment to the Palestinian struggle. Meanwhile, the Islamic Jihad Movement, led by Secretary-General Ziyad al-Nakhalah, characterized the changes in Syria as an internal matter, expressing hope that Syria would maintain its role as a supporter of the Palestinian people. This sentiment was echoed by other Palestinian factions in Damascus, who stressed the right of the Syrian people to determine their own future while hoping for continued Syrian support in the liberation of Palestine.

The Future of Syrian Governance

Following the announcement of Assad's regime's downfall, the armed Syrian opposition declared the entry of their forces into the capital, Damascus, marking a culmination of recent military successes. Reports indicate that Engineer Mohammed al-Bashir, head of the Syrian Salvation Government, will be tasked with forming a new government to oversee the transitional phase in Syria. This development raises questions about the future governance of Syria and its implications for regional stability and the Palestinian cause.

As the situation evolves, the international community watches closely, particularly regarding how the new Syrian leadership will navigate its relationships with both Palestinian factions and neighboring countries.
