The Biden administration has urged the Syrian rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) to support an inclusive transitional government rather than assume automatic leadership after the recent collapse of President Bashar al-Assad's regime. Discussions are ongoing between the US and HTS, coordinated with Middle East allies like Turkey. The US aims for a governing structure that reflects the desires of the Syrian people, emphasizing a formal selection process for new leaders. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken outlined criteria for a future Syrian government, stressing the need for it to be credible and non-sectarian. Some lawmakers are advocating for lifting sanctions on Syria to aid in rebuilding efforts.
