"For all employees of state institutions, December 25-26, 2024 are now declared official holidays. Those institutions and line ministries whose activities are necessary shall continue to work," the government said in a statement published in Al-Watan newspaper.

There’s no “Catholic Christmas.”
Why do foreign stooges parasite here?
Hmmm… hopeful sign. Hope it lasts.
So far, the retributions have been much less than one would expect. We’ll see - IMO HTS has to moderate and have moderate allies to rule in Syria. Maybe they realize that.
