He added that a European team was selected by a non-governmental organization with his own participation and began its work to transfer al-Jolani to the world of politics in 2023, when he was still the leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham in Idlib.
Ford added that his first meeting with al-Jolani was in March 2023 and then in September. The third meeting took place inside the Syrian presidential palace. Al-Jolani came to power at the behest of the United States and Europe, taking advantage of the protests against Bashar al-Assad.
These remarks are the first official admission by a former American official that Western parties played a role in placing a terrorist in power in Syria.
