Syria’s new leader meets senior Christian clerics

Syria's new leader Ahmed al-Sharaa met with high-level Christian clergymen on Tuesday, amid calls for him to guarantee minority rights after seizing power from Bashar Al-Assad earlier this month.

"The leader of the new Syrian administration, Ahmed al-Sharaa, meets a delegation from the Christian community in Damascus," Syria's General Command said in a statement on Telegram, which included pictures of the meeting with Catholic, Orthodox and Anglican clerics.
