Rebel Group's Terrorist Label Could Hinder Efforts to Aid Syria
Briefly

The terrorist label on Hayat Tahrir al-Sham complicates international aid to Syria, severely restricting support that is crucial for rebuilding and governance after civil war.
Kirsten Fontenrose emphasizes that after regime changes, it's crucial to prevent power vacuums that can lead to chaos and the resurgence of terrorist groups like ISIS.

Experts suggest that providing Hayat Tahrir al-Sham with a path to legitimacy could stabilize the situation in Syria and lead to a more orderly transition.
