US revokes ‘terrorist’ designation for Syria’s Hayat Tahrir al-Sham

يوليو 8, 2025 - 12:45
The US government has removed its designation of the Syria-based Hayat Tahrir al-Sham or HTS as a “terrorist” organisation. The group was previously known as the al-Nusra Front when it was a branch of al-Qaeda in Syria. It was once headed by Ahmed al-Sharaa, who's now Syria's president. The move comes after Trump signed an executive order a week ago to end US sanctions on Syria. Al Jazeera’s Osama Bin Javaid has more from Damascus, Syria.
