Jeddah, Dec. 19 (SANA) The Muslim World League welcomed Friday the United States’ decision to repeal the “Caesar Act,” describing it as a pivotal step toward a more promising future for the Syrian people.
In a statement posted on the League’s official website, Secretary-General Muhammad bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa said the historic move by U.S. President Donald Trump reflects Syria’s right to move forward on its new path.
Al-Issa added that he hoped the Syrian government’s efforts would succeed in meeting the aspirations of its people for stability and prosperity, and he praised Saudi Arabia’s support for Syria during this critical juncture.
On Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump signed the Department of Defense budget law for 2026, which includes a provision fully repealing the Caesar Act, imposed on Syria since 2019, making the repeal effective.
