Syria’s national dialogue conference set to kick off Monday

Syria's national dialogue conference began as a "rare historical opportunity" aimed at rebuilding the country after nearly 14 years of civil war.
About 600 participants attended the conference in Damascus, hosted by the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, which led the effort to oust President Bashar Al-Assad.
Interim President Ahmad Al-Sharaa emphasized the need for unity and security, following a warning from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about preventing HTS from entering areas near Damascus.
The gathering seeks to create nonbinding recommendations for Syria's political future, focusing on transitional justice and a new constitution.
