WASHINGTON The U.S. ambassador to Türkiye and special envoy for Syria has voiced concern over the potential assassination plot against Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa by opposition elements. Speaking to Al-Monitor, Tom Barrack noted that Sharaa’s efforts to establish renewed ties with Western nations and promote an inclusive governance model at home have made him a target for disaffected militant factions. “We need to coordinate a protection system around [Sharaa],” he said.
