Syria's New Chapter: National Dialogue Sparks Hope and Challenges

Syria's new rulers initiated a national dialogue in Damascus, following former President Assad's ousting. Led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the conference aims to rebuild the nation, draft a new constitution, and address minority concerns. External challenges include Israeli opposition and sanctions from Assad's era.

Syria's new authorities launched a national dialogue conference on Tuesday in Damascus, marking a pivotal moment to reconstruct the nation post-Assad's rule and civil war.

Challenges remain, including rebuilding infrastructure, integrating armed factions, and addressing Israeli objections and international sanctions.
