Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa has issued a new decree that revises the country's official holidays, notably abolishing four holidays previously recognized under former President Bashar Assad. Among those removed is the anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, a date that has held significant national importance for decades. The decision comes as neighboring Egypt celebrates its own commemoration of the war, sparking widespread debate and unrest within Syria. Many citizens and commentators are questioning the motivations behind the move and its impact on national identity.
