The leader of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), Ahmed al-Shara (Abu Muhammad al-Jolani), gave an interview to Syria TV, which broadcasts from Turkey. The messages in Shara's first television interview were striking.

HTS LEADER: WE WILL DISARM ALL ARMED GROUPS

Shara stated that the Syrian Ministry of Defense will disarm all armed groups and that all weapons will be under the authority of the Syrian state. He noted that Damascus has been exposed to tragic conditions and that destruction has spread everywhere, saying, "To manage Syria, a transition from a revolutionary mindset to a state-oriented mindset is necessary."

Shara emphasized that carefully prepared plans are needed to end the tragedy that Syria has been subjected to, pointing out that data must be collected and analyzed before taking practical steps to address urgent issues. He stated that to ensure sustainable stability, the country must establish a state based on law and institutions.

"WE WILL END CAPTAGON PRODUCTION BY THE FALLEN REGIME"

Shara, who stated that the future of Syria depends on establishing governance and justice foundations, emphasized the importance of avoiding the mistakes made during the fallen regime of Bashar al-Assad. He highlighted that the new administration in Syria will end the regime's captagon production. Shara pointed out that they have been planning and preparing for many years to overthrow the Assad regime, stressing the importance of building a new Syria that guarantees the rights and justice of all citizens.

Recalling that during the Assad regime, the Russian Air Force focused heavily on hitting civilian targets, Shara expressed fears that what happened in Gaza could be repeated in northern Syria, leading to a rise in humanitarian issues.

"ISRAEL'S ARGUMENTS ARE NOW UNFOUNDED"

Regarding Israel's recent increasing attacks in Syria, Shara stated, "Israel's arguments are now unfounded and do not justify its latest violations." He mentioned that Israel has crossed engagement boundaries in Syria, which has increased tensions in the region. Reminding that Syria has been exhausted after years of conflict, Shara added that the priority at this stage is not to be drawn into conflicts that could lead to further destruction, but to ensure reconstruction and stability.

"THE ONLY WAY IS DIPLOMACY"

Shara called on the international community to urgently intervene in the face of this tension and to take responsibility, emphasizing the importance of controlling the situation in the region and respecting Syria's sovereignty. He stated that the only way to ensure any kind of security and stability is through diplomacy, noting that the regime's collapse is a result of the unity of the Syrians.

"WE DO NOT HOLD HOSTILITY TOWARDS THE IRANIAN PEOPLE"

Shara expressed that Iran is conducting a "expansionist project" in the region, posing a threat to neighboring and Gulf countries, stating, "We have succeeded in ending Iran's presence in Syria. However, we do not harbor hostility towards the Iranian people. Our problem is with the policies that harm our country."

RELATIONS WITH RUSSIA

Shara mentioned that the Syrian administration is trying to avoid provoking Russia and has provided opportunities for Russia to evaluate its relations with Syria in a way that would benefit both countries. He noted that the current stage requires careful management of international relations.

Shara stated that Assad has used Syria "like a farm" for personal interests, revealing that the scale of the theft is very large and that they will publish documents showing these violations in the future. He concluded, "Our current priority is to meet the basic needs of the people and to work towards a more stable and just future."
