Formation
[edit]President Bashar al-Assad accepted the entire cabinet's resignation after a meeting on 29 March 2011.[6] Al-Assad then appointed outgoing Prime Minister Muhammad Naji al-Otari to continue as caretaker prime minister until a new government is appointed.[7] On 3 April 2011, Assad appointed Minister of Agriculture Adel Safar the new prime minister.[8] On 6 April 2011, the state-run al-Ekhbariya TV channel said that Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem, Minister of Defense Dawoud Rajiha, Minister of Endowment and Religious Affairs Mohammed Abdul-Sattar Al Sayed, and Minister of Presidential Palace Affairs Mansour Fadlallah Azzam would remain in the new cabinet.[9] On 9 April 2011, DayPress News reported the new cabinet was expected to be announced in the next week.[10] On 14 April 2011, a new cabinet was officially announced.[11][12]
On 9 February 2013, President Assad changed seven ministers in the cabinet.[13] The cabinet reshuffle included the ministries of oil, finance, social affairs, labor, housing, public works and agriculture.[14]
In July 2016, president Assad issued Decree no. 203 for 2016 which listed the new Syrian government.[15]
The first Hussein Arnous government was formed after 2020 Syrian parliamentary election.[16] A new government was formed after 2021 Syrian presidential election under Hussein Arnous.
On 14 September 2024, president al-Assad issued a decree charging Mohammad Ghazi al-Jalali with the task of forming a new cabinet.[17] On 23 September 2024, president al-Assad issued a decree forming the new ministry with Mohammad Ghazi al-Jalali as the head of it.
Following the fall of the Assad regime on 8 December 2024, Mohammad Ghazi al-Jalali continued as caretaker prime minister pending the formation of a Syrian Transitional Government.[18]
