The U.S. Senate has voted to lift sanctions imposed under the Caesar Act on Syria. This decision was made public on December 17, 2025. The Caesar Act, enacted in 2019, aimed to impose sanctions on the Syrian government and those supporting it due to human rights abuses and the ongoing conflict in the country.
The lifting of these sanctions marks a significant shift in U.S. policy towards Syria. The implications of this decision remain to be seen, as it could affect various aspects of U.S.-Syria relations and the humanitarian situation in the region.
