A video surfaced on Sunday showing Syrian Prime Minister Mohammad Ghazi Al-Jalali being escorted by rebels in Damascus. The footage captured Jalali being accompanied by armed men as they made their way to a hotel to hand over government authority.
In the video, Jalali can be seen surrounded by armed individuals as they descended some steps and entered a black SUV with another man. A voice in the video stated, 'The former prime minister is with the 5th Corps from the people of Hauran heading to the Four Seasons Hotel for a meeting and to hand over the country’s institutions to the heroes of the Free Army.'
Prior to this incident, the prime minister had expressed his intention to 'ensure' the operation of public institutions, state facilities, and the preservation of 'safety and security for all citizens.'
