The vice president-elect said some of the views being shared on the Syria situation 'make me nervous.'
Vice President-elect JD Vance raised concerns on Sunday about the Syrian rebels who have ousted Syria's authoritarian leader Bashar Al-Assad, saying that some of the rebels are an 'offshoot of ISIS.'Assad's regime collapsed this weekend after a stunning turnaround after nearly 14 years of conflict. The deposed Syrian leader reportedly fled the country as rebels took control of the major Syrian city of Homs as well as the capital Damascus.
But Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, the leader of HTS, has said that his organization aims for all Syrians to coexist in unity.'No one has the right to erase another group. These sects have coexisted in this region for hundreds of years, and no one has the right to eliminate them,' Jolani told CNN in an interview this week.Jolani was formerly a member of the Islamic State in Iraq, which eventually morphed in ISIS.
