The December Collapse of the Bashar al-Assad regime following the takeover by hay’at tahrir al-Sham (HTS), for Former al-Qaeda Affiliate, not only signified an end to a decades-long oppression regime, Trump emphasized that this relief of sanctions, which argued that he will give the country the opportunity to recover and was soon followed by an EU order to lift the sanctions, is a movement to encourage Syria to normalize diplomatic ties with Israel.
