The United States has made a significant decision to remove the long-standing $10 million bounty on the de-facto leader of Syria. This move follows a high-level US delegation meeting with the former jihadist on Friday.
The Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs described the policy decision as aligned with the need to address critical issues such as combating terrorism. The leader in question, Ahmad al-Sharaa, who is associated with the US-designated terrorist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), has committed to working on these issues.
