Israel’s Kan 14 news channel called the leader of Syria’s rebel group Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) a “dangerous jihadist pretending to be a moderate”.
The comments come as Jolani asserts that HTS has changed since its early links to al-Qaeda and that it supports a Syria for all Syrians, claims of which many remain skeptical.
The commentator likened Jolani’s statements to those made by Sinwar before 7 October 2023, arguing that his “ideological origins” have “not changed”.
