US Removes Syria from Terrorism Sponsor List, UN Briefed on Developments

The UN Security Council received a briefing on political and humanitarian developments in Syria following the United States' decision to lift Syria's "State Sponsor of Terrorism" designation. This move, welcomed by the UK, has enabled international payment companies like Visa and Mastercard to resume operations in Syria. The change signals a potential shift towards Syria's global financial reintegration and has significant geopolitical implications.
