The President of Syria has dismissed his brothers from high-ranking positions.

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa has removed his two brothers, Maher and Hazem al-Sharaa, from high-ranking positions as part of a government reshuffle. This was reported by i24NEWS, citing a source close to the president, according to the report.

 

According to the source, these changes were implemented as part of a political transformation aimed at renewing government operations and rebuilding the trust of Syrians.

 

Until now, Maher al-Sharaa had been serving as the Secretary-General of the Syrian President's administration. He has now been replaced by Abdulrahman al-Aama, the former governor of Homs province.

 

The report states that Maher al-Sharaa had become a key figure in relations between Damascus and Moscow. It is noted that this was due to his knowledge of the Russian language and the fact that his wife is Russian.

 

A source close to the president indicated that there is a high likelihood of Maher al-Sharaa being appointed as ambassador to Russia.

 

The president's other brother, Hazem al-Sharaa, has also left his position. He had been serving as Vice President of the Supreme Council for Economic Development.

 

According to information, the removal of the brothers from their positions had been under discussion for some time. Last month, their father, economic commentator Husayn al-Sharaa, emphasized that Maher and Hazem would conclude their roles in the state "with clean hands and a good reputation."

 

According to i24NEWS, the reshuffle is seen as part of a broader process aimed at restructuring the power system in Syria and strengthening internal trust.
