After Bashar al-Assad left the country, Syria's new internal government has taken over the reins of the country. The rebel-run Information Ministry announced on Friday that action would be taken against war journalists from the time of the Assad government.

The statement released on Telegram said, “All war journalists who worked for the Assad regime during the war and who contributed directly or indirectly to publicizing its crimes against the Syrian people will receive appropriate punishment under international justice.”

Media workers will not be harassed.

Ending the 13-year-long war, rebel forces are working as a government army in the internal government. The Syrian newspaper Al-Watan reported on Monday that the rebels' general command has banned the harassment of Syrian government media employees. The rebels have also talked about taking minorities along.

Apart from this, the internal government has appealed to all government employees to return to their work so that they can be assured of their safety and protection. The rebels in Syria have appointed Mohammad al-Bashir as the interim Prime Minister of the country. He will remain the Prime Minister till March 2025. In his first speech, he promised to build a new Syria and appealed to all Syrians to join him in this development.

The new constitution will be ready in 6 months.

Hadi al-Bahra, the chairman of the Syrian National Coalition, proposed that Syria should draw up a new constitution within six months, laying the groundwork for a referendum for the first elections under the new framework. "The constitution will say whether we will adopt a parliamentary system, a presidential system, or a mixed system. And based on that, elections will be held and people will choose their leader," al-Bahra said.
