Syrian authorities postpone opening of new parliament

Syria has postponed the opening of its newly formed parliament, originally scheduled for Monday, with no new date announced. The delay follows a deadly bombing near the Ministry of Justice in Damascus that killed 10 people, most of them lawyers. Some local reports suggest the postponement may be linked to French President Emmanuel Macron's planned visit to Damascus on Monday. The 220-member parliament, composed of two-thirds elected members and one-third appointed by President Ahmad Al Shara, represents a significant step in Syria's transition from the autocratic rule of Bashar al-Assad. The new authorities have begun prosecuting former regime figures for wartime atrocities, though the perpetrators of the recent bombing remain unidentified.
