AI Summary

In this episode of 'The Daily,' Carlotta Gall examines the sudden collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria, which had ruled through repression for over 50 years. The fall occurred amid weakened international support as Russia and Iran became distracted by other conflicts. The offensive led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) accelerated the regime's downfall, resulting in mixed emotions of hope and fear among Syrians—joy from the liberation and anxiety about future violence and power struggles. HTS's transformation raises questions about governance and the uncertain pathway ahead for Syria post-Assad.
