The Syrian Muslim Brotherhood’s Shura Council issued a statement characterized by calm and balanced language and high diplomacy. Despite the Brotherhood’s historical opposition to the Baath regime and its complex relationship with the new ruling authority led by Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, the recent statement, coinciding with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan’s unannounced visit to Damascus, presented a detailed political program signaling a repositioning amid current political developments. The statement adopted the goal of building a modern civil state with an Islamic reference, avoided criticizing the new authority despite its distancing from the Brotherhood, firmly rejected normalization with Israel, and supported the Palestinian cause. It also highlighted disagreements with the authority regarding transitional justice, emphasizing the need for accountability of all parties involved in crimes against Syrians.
