Mohammed al-Bashir

Mohammed al-Bashir (Arabic: محمد البشير, romanized: Muḥammad al-Bashīr; born 1984) is a Syrian politician and engineer who currently serves as the 70th prime minister of Syria.

Since 10 December 2024, he has led the Syrian transitional government, which was formed after the fall of the Assad regime, and succeeded Mohammad Ghazi al-Jalali in his role.

[9] On 5 March 2024, amid demonstrations against HTS in Idlib and the onset of Ramadan, al-Bashir signed a decree granting amnesty to prisoners who were not convicted of serious crimes.

[10] In late November 2024, the HTS-led Military Operations Command, supported by Turkish-backed rebels of the Syrian National Army, launched the Northwestern Syria offensive, leading to the capture of Aleppo and significantly increasing the extent of the Salvation Government's controlled territories.

[13] On 9 December 2024, following the fall of the Assad regime, al-Bashir was tasked with forming a transitional government after meeting with HTS leader Ahmed al-Sharaa and outgoing Syrian prime minister Mohammad Ghazi al-Jalali to coordinate a transfer of power.
