My opinion on General License 25 and the suspension of Caesar sanctions: it is a significant step forward, but Syria still requires many additional measures before we can say that the Trump administration has fulfilled the president’s promise of the 'cessation of all sanctions on

رأيي بالرخصة العامة 25 من وزارة الخزانة الأمريكية وتعليق عقوبات قيصر لمدة 180 يوم خطوة كبيرة للأمام ولكن لا تزال سوريا بحاجة خطوات كتيرة إضافية لحتى نقول أنو إدارة ترامب وفت بوعد رئيسها "برفع كافة العقوبات عن سوريا"

To grasp how persistent statutory sanctions can be, recall that Iraq remained on the State Sponsors of Terrorism list for 18 months after the U.S. invasion—despite active efforts to stabilize and revive the country. Below are excerpts from my forthcoming report with

صرلي فترة وأنا عبسمع هالسؤال: إيمتا رح تتم إعادة سوريا لنظام سويفت العالمي للتعاملات البنكية؟ الحقيقة السؤال بحد ذاتو غير دقيق، رغم إنو عبينسأل من مسؤولين حكوميين واقتصاديين. سويفت ببساطة نظام تراسل للبنوك لتعمل مقاصة وتنقل أموال من مكان لمكان. سوريا ما انطردت من سويفت، القصة

Last Thursday, the US Envoy for Syria announced that Syria's State Sponsor of Terrorism designation will be removed. What does that mean? How would the removal affect Syria's recovery? Why should we expect at least months for the removal, and what's the procedure?

سوريا مصنفة من قبل الولايات المتحدة كدولة راعية للإرهاب من عام 1979. أطول دولة على هالتصنيف بالعالم. الخميس الماضي قال المبعوث الأمريكي لسوريا، توماس باراك، أنو الرئيس الأمريكي رح يلغي التصنيف قريبًا. بهالفيديو، اعتمادًا على تقرير نشرناه الأسبوع الماضي بمرصد الشبكات السياسية

The open war now unfolding between Israel and Iran is a stark reminder of how much ground Iran has lost in recent months and years. Not long ago, Israeli strikes in Tehran would have been almost unthinkable. A major turning point was the effective loss of Syria. I’m re-sharing
