What U.S. Diplomats Thought After Meeting Jihadi-Turned-Statesman Ahmad al-Sharaa | FRONTLINE (PBS)
Less than two weeks after Ahmad al-Sharaa ousted Bashar al-Assad in Syria, a U.S. State Department delegation arrived in Damascus to meet the onetime Al Qaeda commander. This video drawn from the documentary "Syria After Assad" shows what they thought of Syria’s new leader; why, for delegation head Barbara Leaf, how al-Sharaa talked about Israel was striking; and why one diplomat says he “walked away impressed.”This journalism is made possible by viewers like you.
