Various factions in the Military Operations Administration and other Syrian opposition groups met at the People's Palace in Damascus to discuss issues related to the country's future.

A military commander who participated in the conference told the DPA on condition of anonymity that "Ahmed Al-Sharaa was installed as president of the country, the constitution of 2012 was suspended, and the People's Assembly was dissolved."

In December, shortly after his Islamist group Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham ousted Bashar Al-Assad, Al-Sharaa said Syria needs a period of three to four years to hold elections and write a constitution for the country.
