			Syria is currently controlled by the Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) terrorist group led by [[Abu Muhammad al-Jawlani]] after the ousting of the elected Assad government. Western propaganda paints the group as pragmatic and claims that they have distanced themselves from their past affiliations with [[Islamic State]] and [[Al-Qaeda]]. In late December 2025 the transitional government claimed it will take up to three years to rewrite the Syrian constitution whilst holding elections could take up to four years.<ref>{{Web citation\|author=Hatem Maher, Menna AlaaElDin\|newspaper=[[Reuters]]\|title=Syria's de facto leader says holding elections could take up to four years\|date=2024-12-30\|url=https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/syrias-de-facto-leader-says-holding-elections-could-take-up-four-years-2024-12-29/}}</ref>

			Shishakli's administration lasted four years before being deposed by another coup and elections restored with Quwatli being re-elected in 1955 to lead a officially neutral but Western sceptical administration. Syria's refusal to become a Western client state and willingness to allow leftist activity caused the West to propagandize that Syria was under [[Communism\|communist]] influence and made plans to launch yet another coup. The coup was repeatedly postponed then called off indefinitely by the Syrian opposition after the eruption of the 1956 [[Suez Crisis]], in said crisis Syria strongly supported [[Arab Republic of Egypt\|Egypt]] and destroyed domestic oil pipelines causing oil shortages in Europe complimenting the effects of the canal's closure.<ref>{{Citation\|author=A.

			Western aggression caused Syria to establish relations with the [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (1922–1991)\|Soviet Union]] who was happy to provide Syria with both military and technological aid. The West in response begins preparing once again to overthrow the Syrian government and began making contacts with Syrian opposition groups, most notably the [[Syrian Muslim Brotherhood]]. However, the attempted 1957 coup was once again foiled when Syrian army officers chose to inform the Syrian chief of intelligence, [[Abdel Hamid Sarraj]], about the plot rather than betray their country. The CIA officers who bribed them, [[Robert Molloy]], [[Francis Jeton]] and [[Howard Stone]], were all subsequently expelled from Syria ending the latest coup attempt by the West, who in response once again painted Syria as being under communist influence. A quick coup having failed, Turkey then moved its troops to intervene in Syria with U.S. support only to be forced to abandon the attempt after the Soviet Union moved its own troops towards Turkey, declaring its intention to defend Syria.<ref>{{Citation\|author=A.

			[[Pan-Arabism\|Pan-Arabist]] sentiments and the constant threat of [[North Atlantic Treaty Organization\|NATO]] intervention led Syria to unify with Egypt to form the [[United Arab Republic (1958–1971)\|United Arab Republic]] in 1958. Although initially in favour of the union, over time the Syrian elites began to dislike the practical consequences of being subordinate to Egypt in the union.<ref>{{Citation\|author=A. B.

Following the breakdown of the union a series of coups and countercoups occurred with the [[Ruling class\|ruling classes]] fighting for control until on March 8, 1963, a military coup brought the [[Ba'ath Party]] to power in Syria.<ref>{{Citation\|author=N.
