US Removes Syria from State Sponsors of Terrorism List After 47 Years
The United States formally removed Syria from its State Sponsors of Terrorism list after 47 years, ending a designation that had imposed significant economic restrictions. This decision, authorized by Secretary of State Marco Rubio following a 45-day congressional review, also delisted Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham as a global terrorist organization. The US cited Syria's efforts under President Ahmed al-Sharaa to distance itself from terrorism and join the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS. Syrian officials welcomed the move as a historic milestone expected to promote investment, economic recovery, and international reintegration.
