UN report sees no active Syrian state links to Al Qaeda

SYRIA, JUL 11 – A U.N. report finds no active connections this year between Al Qaeda and Syria's interim government, supporting U.S. efforts to lift U.N. sanctions amid ongoing diplomatic challenges.

  • A UN report said the Syrian rebel group Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham , formerly al-Qaeda's branch in Syria, broke ties with al-Qaeda in 2016.
  • The report comes as diplomats expect the US to seek removal of UN sanctions on HTS and its leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, who became Syria's interim president after toppling Assad.
  • The US revoked its terrorist designation of HTS this week as a step towards Trump's vision of a peaceful and unified Syria, and is reviewing remaining terrorist designations related to HTS and Syria.
