The Biden administration says the United States will recognize and support a new Syrian government that renounces terrorism, destroys chemical weapons stocks and protects the rights of minorities and women.

Summary

The Biden administration announced it will support a new Syrian government that renounces terrorism, protects women’s and minority rights, and dismantles chemical weapons.

This follows the ouster of Bashar al-Assad by the rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which the U.S. designated as a terrorist organization in 2018.

While the U.S. may reassess HTS’s status, ongoing concerns about ISIS resurgence and regional instability persist.

Meanwhile, Israel has seized the Golan Heights buffer zone amid condemnation, and Biden is coordinating with allies, including Israel, on the evolving situation in Syria and Gaza.

    “What do you mean?” all by itself doesn’t come across as seeking clarification. You knew likely what it meant, and if you really did not know, you gave no indication that the answer was a revelation. This makes it come across as being asked in bad faith. If you’d responded that you had no idea that’s what we meant it wouldn’t have been received poorly, at least by me.

    If you’d framed your question as seeking clarification instead of feigning ignorance I think people would have been less combative.
