Qutaiba Idlibi, Director of the American Affairs Department at the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, confirmed that the U.S. Senate approved the cancellation of the Caesar Act within the U.S. National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), in response to the positive developments taking place in Syria and the constructive efforts to reopen and cooperate with the United States based on respect and mutual interests.

Idlibi said in a post on the X platform: Syrian diplomatic efforts with our partners and friends will continue to ensure that the U.S. House of Representatives adopts the same decision, leading to the full cancellation of the Caesar Act before the end of this year, lifting all forms of sanctions on the Syrian people and enabling them to regain opportunities for a decent life and development.

Idlibi explained that this stage requires more work and communication, but the will is clear, and the direction is towards ending the era of sanctions and opening a new chapter of cooperation and mutual respect between the Syrian and American peoples.

Idlibi thanked the U.S. Senators who visited Syria, observed the reality closely, welcomed the Syrian delegation in Washington weeks ago, and courageously contributed to correcting previous policies, appreciating the suffering of the Syrian people and their desire to rise again. He said: Syria today opens a new page of partnership and mutual respect towards a future without sanctions… a future of dignity, development, and prosperity.
