Britain may reconsider the terrorist designation of Hayat al-Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the leading group in the Syrian opposition coalition that played a key role in opposing President Bashar al-Assad, according to senior minister Pat McFadden.

“We will consider that. I think it will partly depend on what happens next,” McFadden told Sky News when asked if the government might reevaluate HTS’s prescription.

HTS, once linked to al-Qaeda, is currently classified as a terrorist organization in the UK, making it illegal to join or support the group.

Since 2011, the West, including the UK have imposed crippling sanctions on Syria to  specifically destroy or enforce an ousting of

President Al Assad.

Assad, a key ally of the Islamic Resistance, managed to govern the country for 25 years,  of which the last 13 were most decisive for the region, particularly for a stronger and well-established Shia presence and with that the interconnected Palestinian cause.
