Hafez Assad

Hafez al-Assad was a Syrian politician and military officer who served as the president of Syria from 1971 until his death in 2000.

He was previously the prime minister from 1970 to 1971 as well as the regional secretary of the regional command of the Syrian regional branch of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party and secretary general of the National Command of the Ba'ath Party from 1970 until his death.

Assad was a key participant in the 1963 Syrian coup d'état, which brought the Syrian regional branch of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party to power.

The Ba’ath rule lasted until the ouster of the regime in 2024. The party at the time was led by his son Bashar.
