Thanks a lot for the very comprehensive article.
HTS definitely has massively evolved in the past four years and let go of their most radical practices (the bar was very low) and are on a constant PR operation, but the Christians and Druzes remain second-class citizens to their eyes. There's an evident desire to be taken seriously as political actor on a domestic but also on an international level.
We'll see how it goes, but I remain highly skeptical and think that this moderation won't last once they have consolidated their power.
