Syrians celebrate Assad's fall as US seeks a peaceful political transition
Assad was overthrown, a major symbolic moment for the country's dramatic change of power. The rebels are now working to establish security and start a political transition after seizing the capital on Sunday.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken made an unannounced visit to Iraq on Friday, pressing ahead with efforts to unify Middle East nations in support of a peaceful political transition in Syria. It's part of Blinken's 12th trip to the Mideast since the Israel-Hamas war erupted last year in Gaza but his first after Assad was ousted.
The U.S. is also making a renewed push for an ceasefire in Gaza, where the war has plunged more than 2 million Palestinians into a severe humanitarian crisis.
Israel's war against Hamas has killed over 44,800 Palestinians in Gaza, more than half of them women and children, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which does not say how many were combatants. The Israeli military says it has killed over 17,000 militants, without providing evidence.
The October 2023 Hamas attack that sparked the war killed some 1,200 people in Israel, mostly civilians, and around 250 others were taken hostage. Some 100 hostages are still inside Gaza, at least a third of whom are believed to be dead.
