The United Kingdom on Friday removed Syrian transitionalPresident Ahmad al-Sharaa and Interior Minister Anas Khattab from its sanctionslist.
In a statement, the British government described the move as“a significant moment, nearly one year after the fall of [former presidentBashar] Asad and the beginning of a new chapter of hope for the Syrian people,”praising Damascus for its progress on political transition, counterterrorism,and chemical weapons compliance.
