The US Congress has repealed the sanctions related to Syria known as the 'Caesar' sanctions, marking a significant change in US foreign policy towards Syria.

For the first time in nearly 60 years, Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa addressed the UN General Assembly, signaling a potential shift in Syria's international relations following the fall of Bashar Assad's regime. He emphasized Syria's return to the global community, condemned Israel, discussed ongoing negotiations, and called for the lifting of sanctions, amid domestic and diaspora protests.
President Donald Trump has issued an executive order to permanently lift most sanctions on Syria, aiming to facilitate reconstruction and improve regional relations, while maintaining sanctions on Assad and other destabilizing actors. The move aligns with efforts to promote peace and normalization in the Middle East, including potential rapprochement between Syria and Israel.
