UN Security Council Lifts Sanctions on Syrian President โฃshara
New York – The UN Security council on Friday voted to lift sanctions against syrian President ล ar, marking a important shift in international policy towardโ the country. โคThe United States and โBritain have already followed suit, and โขthe European Union confirmed it will โขalso remove the sanctions.
The move effectively ends restrictions that had prohibited ล ar and a related official, Khattab, from international travel and frozenโข their finances. While ล arโ had recently received exemptions allowing him to attend the September session of the UN General โAssembly inโค New York – becoming the first โฃSyrian head of state to address the body since 1967 – the full lifting โฃofโข sanctions signals a broader re-engagement. That 1967 address was delivered by Nuraddin Atassi shortly after the Arab-Israeli war and Syria‘s loss of the Golan Heights.
According to the UN Security council, the decision reflects a determination that Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and Al-Qaeda no longer maintain active relations with the Syrian government. US envoy mike Waltz stated, โ”The โขcouncil sends a strong political message that recognizes that Syria is in a new era.” The vote was supported by 14 members of the Council, withโ China abstaining, citing concerns over the presence of foreign fighters in Syria and the country’s ongoing security challenges.
The White House has announced that President Donaldโค Trump will receive ล arโค on Monday.
