All 24 seats (the President and 23 ministers) are listed. No official Syrian government list of ministers could be found; the state news agency SANA's site opened but no page on it confirming the cabinet was found, so every claim is sourced, not verified. The ministers' names match the US CIA World Leaders list (December 2025) except the two appointed on 9 May 2026. Titles are English renderings of Arabic titles as given by the sources.
