Analysis Summary:

The article's accuracy is mixed. The claim that Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) will no longer be designated as a terrorist group is not directly supported by the provided sources, which mostly discuss HTS's existing designation and activities. The claim that HTS "swept to power in Syria" is an oversimplification, though sources confirm their consolidation of power in certain areas. The article exhibits moderate bias through its framing and potentially misleading language.

• Agreement:** Verification Source #4 and #5 agree that HTS is designated as a terrorist group by the United States.
