President Joe Biden is reportedly looking to remove one of the Islamic
terrorist groups that overthrew the Syrian government last week from the U.S.
Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) list.

Biden is looking at removing Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which came from
Al-Qaeda and is still close to the terror group, from the list after they
overthrew Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.

Multiple current and former Biden administration officials told NBC News that
Biden was looking to help the terrorist group "soon" by removing the
designation, which would allow the group a way to get help from foreign
governments.

Biden would also remove the $10 million bounty off the head of the terrorist
group's leader, Abu Muhammad Jawlani.

Former CENTCOM commander retired General Frank McKenzie said during an
interview over the weekend that Jawlani "has a significant track record" of
terrorism, and the notion that terrorists can change was ridiculous.

"Certainly he could advance new ideas coming in," he said. "It's been my
experience, though, that typically they don't."

McKenzie warned that the collapse of the Syrian government -- while bad news
for Assad, Russia, Iran, and Lebanese Hezbollah -- did not signal good news
for the Syrian people.

"I'm not sure it's ultimately going to be good news for the people of Syria,"
he said. "You know, we could have an Islamic State arise there, which will
have profound negative implications across the region. That is possible.
There are other possibilities as well, and I think in the next 48, 72, 96
hours, this will begin to become clearer to us."

The last time that the Biden administration removed an Islamic terrorist
group from the terrorist list was during the initial days of his now-failed
presidency when he removed the Houthis in Yemen from the list.

Just a couple of years later, the Houthis have engaged in widespread
terrorism in the waters around the Arabian Peninsula, attacking merchant and
naval vessels with missiles and drones.
