US government officials sat face to face with a person the US government designated a "terrorist". Realizing the awkwardness of the moment, the administration announced later that it will cancel the reward for Jolani’s arrest.
In what must be a bizarre turn of events, US government officials set face to face with a man they allocated $10 million for information leading to determining his whereabouts, after designating him as a "terrorist" in 2017.
State department still confirmed that the reward money is still valid, at a time when members of the State Department reportedly sat with Jolani.
This development raises questions about the designation "terrorist", and now about what it takes for one to be removed from the list, which apparently is leading an armed rebellion that overthrows a regime.
US Assistant Secretary of State Barbara Leaf announced, following a meeting with representatives of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, that Ahmed al-Sharaa (al-Jolani) is committed to not allowing terrorist groups to operate in Syria in a way that threatens the United States and neighboring countries.
According to news reports, US State Department delegation discussed with the commander-in-chief of the new administration in Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa, on Friday, lifting sanctions on the Syrian people. The two sides also discussed removing Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham from the terrorist lists.
The reward money and the designation of Jolani as a terrorist was published by the FBI, US Embassy in Syria, and other US government agencies
