Director of the General Intelligence Service (Syria)

The Director of the General Intelligence Service (مدير جهاز المخابرات العامة) is the head of the General Intelligence Service (GIS), Syria's primary civilian intelligence agency responsible for national security intelligence, both domestically and internationally. The position was established on 26 December 2024 following the dissolution of the Ba'athist-era General Intelligence Directorate after the fall of the Assad regime. The director is appointed by the president and oversees operations under the Ministry of Interior.

The role encompasses directing intelligence gathering, counterintelligence, and security operations, with a mandate to reform previous repressive practices and focus on national stability during Syria's transitional period.
