Syrian rebel leader Ahmed Al-Sharaa and United Nations Special Envoy for Syria Geir Pedersen discussed reconsidering a 2015 UN Security Council resolution outlining a road map for the country’s political transition, a body representing Syria’s de facto rulers said.

On its Telegram account, the so-called Syrian general command said on Sunday the discussion was held in light of “the changes that took place on the political scene, which have created the necessity for updating the resolution so it becomes compatible with the new reality.”
