Damascus, Dec. 11 (SANA) Minister of Emergency and Disaster Management Raed al-Saleh said Thursday that the repeal of the Caesar Act marks the end of a long era of isolation and sanctions, imposed due to the actions of the former regime, which harmed the Syrian people.
In a post on the “X” platform, Al-Saleh stated, “For the first time in decades, Syria is free of U.S. sanctions. This opens up a genuine opportunity for Syrians to reclaim their state, build institutions capable of protecting citizens, strengthen stability, and move toward a new phase of recovery and reconstruction.”
On Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives voted in favor of repealing the sanctions imposed on Syria under the Caesar Act, which was enacted in December 2019 to penalize the former regime for war crimes committed against the Syrian people during the years of the uprising.
