Front Page Magazine: Why the Silence About the Slaughter In Syria?
Syria's civil war has taken a dire turn with the rise of the Jihadist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) after the overthrow of dictator Bashar al-Assad.

International responses have been mixed, with the U.S. and France expressing concern, while the EU has downplayed HTS's role in the violence. Critics argue that the West's past interventions have only exacerbated the situation, and there are calls for a reevaluation of support for the new Islamist regime in Syria.
