On December 19, 2025, the U.S. Congress passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2026, which includes the repeal of the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act. This legislative action permanently lifts the remaining comprehensive sanctions on Syria.
The repeal is expected to facilitate economic recovery and attract foreign investment in Syria following the fall of the Assad regime. President Donald Trump is anticipated to sign the NDAA into law.
This development comes amid ongoing discussions regarding U.S. foreign policy in the region. For more information on related topics, see our previous reports on the National Defense Authorization Act.
