US officials in 'direct contact' with Syria's HTS rebels | DW News

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says American officials have been in "direct contact" with Syrian rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham. That despite HTS being on the US terrorism list.
Blinken has been in Jordan for talks with officials from several Arab countries and Turkey, as well as the EU and UN. They've agreed to support a peaceful transition process in Syria, and urged the country's new rebel leaders to protect citizens rights. The Islamist group HTS has promised to govern inclusively after toppling Bashar al-Assad's dictatorship a week ago. DW's Aya Ibrahim reports from Damascus.
