Syrian President Abu Mohammad al-Julani appointed actress Rozina al-Ladhqani (born 1986) and 14 other women to the 250-seat parliament to ensure female representation, according to a report from a channel affiliated with the Islamic State's successor organization, Daesh Progressive. The appointment is seen as a gesture toward the West.
Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa (Abu Muhammad al-Jolani) has appointed 15 women to the country's 250-seat parliament in a move that includes actress Rozina al-Ladhqani, according to a report from Daesh Progressive, an outlet affiliated with the Islamic State successor organization. The report, posted Thursday morning Jerusalem time, states that the appointments are intended to ensure female representation and are viewed as a gesture toward the West. This follows an earlier report covered by The Zioneer at 09:00 Jerusalem time today, which noted that al-Sharaa appointed 15 women to the parliament as part of a final wave of 70 personal appointments. The previous report was based on Syrian reports but did not name al-Ladhqani specifically. The current report, from a single source with a clear ideological affiliation, adds the actress's name to the record. The authority's stated rationale — securing female representation — aligns with the earlier account. No official Syrian confirmation or denial has been published as of this writing.
