Veteran opposition figure Hind Kabawat was named social affairs and labor minister in Syria’s new government on Saturday, the first woman to be appointed by Islamist interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa.
Kabawat, a member of Syria’s Christian minority and longtime opponent of ousted strongman Bashar al-Assad, was a member of the preparatory committee for the national dialogue conference held in February.
