Publishing pictures of this meeting, SANA news agency reported that Trump and Al-Jolani met on the sidelines of a ceremony hosted by the American president.
A year ago, if Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, the leader of the terrorist group Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham in Syria, had attempted to travel to New York, he would have been at risk of arrest, because the US, due to his activities in Jabhat al-Nusra—which later turned into Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham—and his ties with al-Qaeda, had placed a $10 million reward for information leading to his capture.
But today, Jolani is in the US to attend the sessions of the United Nations General Assembly. This trip has drawn the attention of social media users, who widely reacted to Jolani’s arrival in New York. On the social platform X (formerly Twitter), users described the transfer of Abu Mohammad al-Jolani from an American prison in Iraq to the podium of the United Nations as a great contradiction and a striking paradox.
