Syria’s Terrorism Delisting Should Not Mean a Free Pass

In a controversial move, President Trump assured Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa that barriers to rebuilding would soon be removed, despite Syria's recent delisting from the U.S. terrorism list. Critics argue this decision undermines efforts to hold Syria accountable for past actions, especially given its history of supporting terrorist groups. Analysts at FDD caution that this delisting should not be interpreted as a carte blanche to evade international scrutiny and responsibilities, highlighting the potential geopolitical ramifications of such a shift.
