Syria’s acting President Ahmed al-Sharaa issued a decree to form the country’s National Security Council, the presidential office said on Wednesday.
The newly established council will have the authority to make major decisions on Syria’s national security and resolve challenges to the state. Although additional information about its structure and members was not immediately made public, the step is an attempt to improve security and governance in the midst of ongoing political and regional tensions.
Experts say the council would be an important institution in determining Syria’s security strategies and actions against both local and foreign threats.
