No one who has been following events in middle east can be surprised by this. What is strange is that you have to hear it on YT.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio now "condemns" the killings of civilians in Syria, and demands: "Syria’s interim authorities must hold the perpetrators of these massacres against Syria’s minority communities accountable." Who are "Syria's interim authorities?" They are listed as a "foreign terrorist organization" on Secretary Rubio's State Department website (HTS, Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham). The US installed these terrorists into power following a proxy war the US backed including under the first Trump administration. And even as the Trump administration maintains US troops in Syria and carries out military strikes across the country, it refuses to strike the leadership or military infrastructure of the US-listed terrorist organization posing as the "interim authorities." Sources: Sec. Rubio's statement: https://www.state.gov/the-escalation-of-fighting-and-civilian-deaths-in-syria/ US State Department foreign terrorist organization list: https://www.state.gov/foreign-terrorist-organizations/
