The Trump administration intends to delist Syria from its list of state sponsors of terrorism.
Just over a year and a half has passed since the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime.
Interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa has visited several regional nations and the United States, seeking to end Syria’s diplomatic and economic isolation.
Washington has lifted certain sanctions and is working to remove Damascus from the state sponsor of terrorism list, a designation that has existed since 1979.
Security challenges remain, most recently highlighted by twin attacks in the capital this month.
Israel’s expanding footprint in Syria’s southwest adds further complexity to the security situation.
