Syria's New Parliament Takes Shape | Global News

Syria’s interim president Ahmed al-Sharaa has finalized the makeup of the new parliament, appointing 70 members—including 15 women and 13 former prisoners—to ensure diverse representation and national unity. This move follows regional elections that left women and minorities underrepresented, prompting Sharaa to step in and balance the 210-seat assembly. The UN warns Syria stands at a pivotal moment, urging the parliament to act swiftly and inclusively. Yet, critics worry about presidential overreach, while delays in key regions like Suweida and Raqqa underscore the fragile path ahead for Syria’s fragile transition.
