The Syrian National Dialogue Conference (Arabic: مؤتمر الحوار الوطني السوري), was a transitional dialogue held at the Presidential Palace in Damascus, Syria, on 24–25 February 2025, as part of the Syrian caretaker government. It aimed to establish a path to national unity following the fall of the Assad regime, focusing on transitional justice, constitutional and institutional reform, freedoms, civil society, and economic principles. Before the conference, Israel launched airstrikes on Damascus and southern Syria. In response, the conference demanded Israel's immediate and unconditional withdrawal from Syria and rejected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's opposition to Syrian military presence in the south.
Ahmed al-Sharaa was appointed president on 29 January 2025, after serving as the de facto leader following the fall of the Assad regime. Upon his appointment, he announced plans to hold a "national dialogue conference" and issue a "constitutional declaration" to serve as a legal framework for the political transition following the repeal of the Ba'athist era constitution.
