"The Islamic State's latest newsletter does not hold back its contempt for Syria's new interim president, Ahmad al-Sharaa, labeling him a traitor for meeting with Trump."
"IS called on foreign fighters upset with al-Sharaa's diplomacy with the U.S. to defect, highlighting the ongoing conflict and recruitment challenges in Syria."
The Islamic State's recent newsletter targeted Syria's interim president Ahmad al-Sharaa, expressing severe disdain for his diplomatic engagement with the US. IS labeled al-Sharaa a traitor, reflecting a longstanding animosity between IS and the rebel group he represents, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).

IS urged foreign fighters dissatisfied with al-Sharaa's policies to defect to their ranks, exacerbating Syria's dilemma regarding foreign fighters as the US pushes for their withdrawal.
