On December 8, he entered Damascus with the automatic in his hands and a camouflage uniform… A week later, he talks to the US, Britain and appears in a video in a jacket and shirt. The transformation of a jihadist into a… westerner, in just seven days. al-Golani, the head of the jihadist organization HTS, seems to be adapting very quickly to the new situation and looking forward to the leadership of Syria, with… the blessings of the West as well.

Image, however, does not always reflect reality. HTS remains on the terrorist list and al-Golani is a decorated terrorist. Nevertheless, he is talking to the West, has the acceptance of Turkey and is emerging as the new strongman in Syria.
What happens next will depend on many factors. Changing the khaki uniform to the jacket and shirt, however, sends a message to the West.
