Washington’s rejection of Palestinian groups to reduce Syrian sanctions

According to RCO News Agency, US media reported in an article referring to US Preside Donald Trump’s conditions to reduce restrictions against Syria, according to ISNA.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Trump administration is taking a more difficult position towards the new Syrian governme and will only be willing to reduce sanctions against Syria if the new rulers expel Palestinian forces from Syria.

US officials said the White House has issued a policy instruction in rece weeks calling on the Syrian governme to take steps, including securing the coury’s chemical weapons reserves. In corast, the United States will be on the agenda for a limited number of sanctions issued during the Joe Biden era.

Referring to Russia’s new guidelines, the US media reported that the Trump administration has withdrawn from pressure to close Russian military bases in Syria, especially in the light of curre talks between Moscow and Washington to end the Ukrainian war.

“The United States does not recognize any institution as the Syrian governme,” a US State Departme spokesman said in response to a question about the instruction. “Syrian ierim officials must completely reject and suppress terrorism.”

The United States coinues to consider Ahmed al -Sharia, known as “Abu Muhammad al -Julani”, who is headed by the Tahrir al -Sham Board, a “terrorist”; A title that relates to his background in joining the uprising against US forces in Iraq and later establishing a branch of al -Qaeda in Syria.

The Biden governme deployed senior officials to meet Julani last December and canceled the $ 5 million prize set by the FBI for his arrest. But the Trump administration appears to have no more steps in support of the group without seeing double actions by the Golani and its forces. In March, forces affiliated with former Syrian Preside Bashar al -Assad carried out an operation that led to the testimony of Alawite religious minorities.

US Departme of Defense officials say the Peagon plans to reduce the number of US troops in Syria in the coming weeks and iegrate its military bases in the coury. A new review will be made to investigate further forces next summer.

US Special Represeative for West Asian Affairs, Steve Witekaf, one of the most influeial figures in the Trump administration, said last moh that “the Shari’ah has become a differe person”, however, some Republican leaders are concerned that the US withdrawal in Syria will open the space for Russian and Russian influence.

The Syrian governme has refused to comme on new US demands. Julani has been trying to change his reputation for many years and has tried to increase its acceptance to the West and the iernational community by participating in the fight against ISIL and banning the Tahrir al -Sham delegation from operating outside the Syrian borders. He has also pledged to avoid conflict with the Zionist regime.

The US media reported that the European Union and the United Kingdom have reduced some sanctions in rece mohs without reducing US sanctions. However, without US support and access to the US financial system, Syria will face serious problems in paying governme employees’ salaries and starting reconstruction projects that could provide refugees and preve violence.

“To achieve each of these goals, and even to establish a minimum of security in the coury, there is a great deal of help,” said Natasha Hall, a senior researcher at the Ceer for Strategic and Iernational Studies in Washington.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Washington has called on Damascus’s new rulers to issue a stateme against extremist groups, as well as banning the activity of Palestinian armed groups on its soil. Damascus should also expel members of these groups from Syrian soil. Palestinian groups have been stationed in Syria for decades, and Syria has hosted a large population of Palestinian refugees since the occupation of Palestine in year 6. According to US media reports, the dismissal of these groups could put Damascus on the path to opposition to these forces.

US officials have promised that if Syria does all this, the United States will pledge to recognize the territorial iegrity of Syria, examine diplomatic relations, and remove the terrorist label from some members of the new governme.

According to this new policy, the United States will also extend the sanctions exemptions issued during the Biden era in January; Exemptions were issued to Syria to accelerate the delivery of humanitarian aid, including electricity, fuel and natural gas.

One of the main goals of Washington’s diplomatic cooperation with Damascus was to end Russia’s military presence in Syria; A presence that includes two naval and air bases near the Mediterranean.
