Abu Mohammed al-Jolani's leadership of HTS reflects a complex legacy of terrorism and governance, symbolizing a shift in power dynamics within the Syrian conflict.
While he rejects the label of terrorist, Jolani's comments on Islamic governance echo the fears surrounding extremist rule, reminiscent of broken promises from the Taliban.

As the situation evolves with Assad's departure, the U.S. must prioritize ensuring accountability and oversight over Syria's remaining chemical weapons arsenal.
