The OPCW will hold an emergency meeting to discuss Syria's chemical weapons following the overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad. The meeting aims to address compliance with international obligations and review investigations into chemical weapon use during the civil war. The new Syrian government, led by Mohammed al-Bashir, is expected to transfer power, while the US supports a government that denounces terrorism and eliminates chemical weapons. Israel has conducted airstrikes in Syria targeting weapons stockpiles, and Russia has granted asylum to al-Assad.
