European diplomats indicate that a consensus is emerging among EU countries to partially lift sanctions on Syria to support its new government, led by HTS. Sanction relief will be conditional upon the recognition and inclusion of women's and minority rights. This policy shift aims to revitalize Syria's economy and offer international legitimacy to its new rulers, while maintaining leverage for future actions based on political developments.
E.U. foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas emphasized the need for a step-by-step approach to sanction relief, asserting, 'If we see the opposite happening, the E.U. must be ready to reverse.'
The proposed easing of sanctions marks a significant policy shift, aimed at supporting Syria's new authorities and stabilizing the region post-conflict.
