The new leader does not appear to be a fan of Western ideals.
This man is now the defacto leader of Syria after his jihadist group led the topping of the Assad dictatorship. Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) has committed mass human atrocities and was co-founded by the former leader of ISIS as the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda. https://t.co/FJIkB5Dggl
