AI Summary:
As pressure mounts on Ahmed al-Sharaa’s government following massacres over the weekend, Syrian authorities announce the formation of a national investigation committee. Syrian authorities have announced a committee to investigate and hold accountable those involved in the violence against Alawites and minorities in the coastal governorates of Latakia and Tartus. Al-Sharaa stressed that those involved will be brought to justice “even if they are close to us” he said only the security authorities are working to uncover the truth and bring those responsible to justice. Al-Sharaa could proceed with the internal committee without international oversight. It could increase international scepticism and expose Syria to greater political and economic pressure externally, but satiate some internal groups. There is also the option to simply do as little as possible: procrastinating on providing tangible results, hoping that international interest in the issue will wane over time.
