Trump Meets with Former Terrorist Leader: A Risky Bet for Peace?

President Trump's meeting with Syrian leader Ahmad Al-Shara has sparked controversy. Al-Shara, previously designated a terrorist by the U.S., now sits with Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, raising concerns among some experts. The U.S. hopes Al-Shara will recognize Israel and aid in the fight against ISIS, but critics worry about lifting sanctions too soon. "Can we trust a man with such a violent past to deliver peace and stability?" questions one expert. Al-Shara's promises to protect minorities and women are met with skepticism due to the presence of officials accused of misogyny in his government. The situation remains complex, highlighting the challenges of navigating international relations and the fight against terrorism.
