Mohammad Ghazi al-Jalali (Arabic: محمد غازي الجلالي; born 22 March 1969) is a Syrian politician and civil engineer who served as the 69th prime minister of Syria from 14 September to 10 December 2024. He is the last person to serve as Prime Minister of Syria under president Bashar al-Assad.

Bashar al-Assad named him Prime Minister on 14 September 2024, following the 2024 Syrian parliamentary election. He previously held the position of minister of communications and information technology in the second government of Wael Nader al-Halqi from 27 August 2014 to 3 July 2016.[1][2]

Following the fall of the Assad regime on 8 December, he remained in Damascus and managed the transfer of power from the Ba'athist government to the rebels, being replaced by Mohammed al-Bashir the following day.[3]

Early life and education

[edit]

Muhammad Ghazi Al-Jalali was born in Damascus in 1969. He graduated with a BA in civil engineering in 1992 and completed a postgraduate diploma in civil engineering from Damascus University in 1994.[4] He also completed a Master of Science in civil engineering in 1997, and a PhD in engineering economics from Ain Shams University, Cairo in 2000.[5]

Career

[edit]

Mohammad Ghazi al-Jalali worked as an assistant to the minister of communications and technology from 2008 until he took over the ministry on 10 August 2014, and as chairman of the board of directors of the General Postal Corporation during the same period, and a member of the board of directors of the General Corporation for Road Transport from 2005 until 2013.[4]

He was also a member of the Higher Education Council at the Ministry of Higher Education from 2008 until his appointment as Minister of Communications and Technology, and he is an assistant professor at the University of Damascus.[5]

Al-Jalali held the position of minister of communications and technology from 10 August 2014, until 3 July 2016, in the second government of Wael al-Halqi. After leaving the ministry, he held the position of the chairman of the Board of Trustees of Arab Quality Makers since April 2019 and chancellor of the Syrian Private University from 11 September 2023 until his appointment as prime minister.[6][7]

Prime Minister of Syria

[edit]

On 14 September 2024, Syrian president Bashar al-Assad issued a decree assigning al-Jalali to form the government in Syria, following the 2024 Syrian parliamentary election.[8]

Fall of the Assad regime

[edit]

On 8 December 2024, Jalali acknowledged the fall of President Assad's Baathist government and announced that he was extending his hand to the opposition, emphasizing the preservation of state institutions. Abu Mohammad al-Julani, the leader of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, announced that al-Jalali would head the government on an interim basis until the formalization of a new governing arrangement.[9] Later that day, al-Jalali called for democratic elections to be held so the Syrian people could choose their new leaders.[10][11] He stated that the Tahrir al-Sham Front contacted the leaders, and the armed men promised that there would be no repression. Al-Jalali also said that he and 18 other ministers had made their decision to stay in Damascus and not leave the country.[12] On the same day, a video was published showing al-Jalali being escorted in Damascus by Tahrir al-Sham militia.[13]

The following day, Mohammed al-Bashir was appointed as new Prime Minister of the Syrian Transitional Government and al-Jalali withdrew from his duties.[3]

Personal life

[edit]

Jalali is married and has three children, two sons and a daughter.[citation needed]
