The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control has officially revoked the U.S. sanctions regulations on the Syrian government, the department announced on Monday.

This move comes in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s June 30 executive order, which removed longstanding sanctions on the Syrian government while maintaining sanctions on the regime of deposed Syrian President Bashar Assad and other destabilizing actors.

The Treasury Department will publish its “final rule” to remove the sanctions in the Federal Register on Tuesday.

“It is Russia who bears full responsibility for all provocations and casualties,” said Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha.
The two diplomats pledged deeper cooperation as the nations mark 35 years of diplomatic relations amid Russia’s war.
Troops also fired on a suspect approaching “in a manner that posed a threat to them,” according to the military.
The cybersecurity company, founded by two IDF Unit 8200 veterans, will acquire the fellow Israeli startup in cash and stock.
The decision reversed an order issued just days earlier following a wave of Palestinian terrorist attacks • Israel’s national security minister called on the premier to revoke the decision, calling it “capitulation to terrorism.”
“I had to move to Israel to find my person,” said Sophie Lichtman of Savannah, Georgia.
