Syrian Prime Minister Mohammed Ghazi Jalali has announced in a video statement that the government is prepared to hand over its functions to a transitional government. In the message, Jalali expressed his readiness to extend an olive branch to the opposition as part of a potential transfer of power.

“I am at my home, and I have not left because of my deep ties to this country,” Jalali stated, indicating his commitment to his nation amidst the ongoing political uncertainty. He further stated that he would continue his work from his office the following day, urging Syrian citizens to refrain from defacing public property in an effort to maintain order.
