The interim president of Syria, Ahmed Al -Sharra, signed a temporary constitution that will be in effect for a period of five transitional years, three months after his forces set a thunderbolt that overthrew the government of Bashar al -Assad.

Sharra He said that he hoped that the constitutional declaration represents the beginning of “a new history for Syria, where we replace persecution with justice”, as the document took place on Thursday.

Abdullah, a member of the Drafting Committee, said that the temporary constitution maintains some aspects of his predecessor, including the condition that the head of state must be a Muslim and the establishment of Islamic law as a major source of jurisprudence.

Risol Serdar from Al -Jazeera from Damascus said that the issue of introducing rules about the religious affiliation of the leaders was a “disputed issue.”

He said: “There were many questions about whether or not it would be one of the articles, but it is now clear that the head of state should be a Muslim.”

Al -Waka said that the document also includes provisions to perpetuate freedom of expression and “social, political and economic rights” for women, adding that it will lead to a “balance between social security and freedom” during the fragile political situation in Syria.

It will be a lot of focus on transitional justice, with the aim of ensuring the trial of the crimes committed under the previous Assad government.

Under the temporary constitution, the executive authority will also be limited to the president, as Al -Awak said, noting the need for “quick work to face any difficulties.”

Serdar said that the People’s Association, which will be appointed by a third of the president, will be assigned to all legislation “until the elections are held.” “Perhaps this will take, according to the president, up to four to five years.”

“The Assembly of the People will have authority … dismissing the president itself as well. In theory, this is possible, but in practice it will be very difficult because [many of] Members will be appointed … directly by the president himself. “

A new committee will be formed to formulate a permanent constitution, but it is not clear whether it will be more comprehensive in political, religious and ethnic groups in Syria.

Al -Sharra arrived on Monday to a teacher Charter With the US -led US -led authorities in northeastern Syria, including a ceasefire and the integration of its armed forces with central government security agencies.

The agreement came after government forces and allied groups were crushed insurgency It was launched last week by the loyal gunmen.

Rights groups say hundreds of civilians-most of them from the Supreme Minority Satellite to which Assad belongs-was killed in retaliatory attacks by the factions in the counter-attack.

Temporary rulers in Syria are still trying to exercise their authority in most parts of the country since the Sharra Group, Haya Tarr al -Sham, or HTS, has been led by the attack that overthrew an ESAD in December.

Critics say that the National Dialogue Conference last month calls for the temporary constitution and the holding of temporary parliamentary elections was not comprehensive for the various ethnic and sectarian groups in Syria or civil society.

Israel strikes Damascus

The signing of the constitutional declaration came when the Israeli Air Force had an air strike in Damascus on Thursday.

“We have heard two almost loud explosions at the same time, the constitutional declaration was signed,” Serdar Al -Jazeera said.

Israel’s army He said in a statement that he targeted a “terrorist leadership center” in Damascus belonging to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Group, which fought alongside Hamas in Gaza against Israel.

Islamic Jihad spokesman, Muhammad Al -Hajj Moussa, denied that the targeted building was a leadership center, as he wrote about a telegram that it was an empty house.

Syrian security sources told Reuters news agency that the goal was a Palestinian person.

“This is definitely a power of power and they only want to make sure that the new leadership in the country realizes that Israel is watching them, and it is watching them,” Serdar said.

“This is the psychological game of Israel,” he said. “It is certain that Israel is now very difficult to carry out the mission of the new administration while the country is trying to preserve the state apparatus … and try to recover from the civil war.”
