BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syria's new rulers have not yet decided when to hold a landmark national dialogue conference that is meant to bring together Syrians from across society to chart a new path for the nation after the fall of the Assad dynasty, according to five sources.

Holding the conference has been a key pledge of the rebels led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), who took control of Damascus on Dec. 8 in a stunning offensive that prompted then-president Bashar al-Assad to flee to Russia, ending more than 50 years of Assad family rule.
