The administration of President Joe Biden has acknowledged contact with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the Syrian opposition group that led the recent lightning offensive that toppled longtime leader Bashar al-Assad.
Saturday’s statement, delivered by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, was the first time the Biden administration has publicly confirmed talks with the group.

Such talks are sensitive. HTS has been designated as a “foreign terrorist organisation” in the US since 2018, and the US largely avoids negotiations with such groups.

“Yes, we have been in contact with HTS and with other parties,” Blinken said in response to a question from reporters.
Kontak saja lor....and Wankers already jumping up and down like monkeys. He didn't say the US backs them.
I'm amazed at the lamentations of the pro-Russian Wankers at the demise of the Evil Assad Regime. Haven't they seen the Assad torture cells ?- previously alleged but now proven fact.
Wait till the 4 vultures (Zionist state, Turkey & that 2 para-islamic dickheads supported by the Yank) that took Syria, revealing their true intentions & interfightings ONLY then u fart!
