The United States has decided to remove the terrorist designation from Syrian group Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), further easing sanctions related to ongoing conflicts in the country. This decision marks a significant shift in U.S. foreign policy regarding Syrian militant groups, particularly as new leadership has emerged. The revocation of the designation allows for greater flexibility in U.S. engagements with Syrian factions and reflects a strategic move to support the current administration in Syria.
