Mohamed al-Bashir has been appointed the caretaker prime minister of the transitional Syrian government until March 1, 2025. 

Al-Bashir ran the rebel-led Salvation government, which had already been governing parts of northwestern Syria and Idlib. 

The Salvation government is linked to the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir-al Shams, which led the overthrow of al-Assad’s regime in Syria after 13 years of civil war.

More details awaited...
