US Senator Lindsey Graham emerged as a key backer of Kurdish rights when Syrian state forces launched a military campaign against the Kurdish-led administration in Rojava (northeast Syria) in January, introducing the Save the Kurds Act to the US legislature that threatened severe sanctions on Damascus and the redesignation of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) as a terrorist organization.
