The United States government has revoked its designation of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham as a foreign terrorist organization, seven months after the group overthrew Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and seized control of Damascus,

The United States on Monday announced it was revoking its designation as a “foreign terrorist organisation” of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a group once linked to al-Qaeda that toppled Syria’s government in December.

The move comes in conjunction with President Donald Trump’s June order to lift sanctions on Syria to support “the country’s path to stability and peace.”
