🧵 @JeremyKonyndyk & I spent a couple of weeks in the Middle East interviewing Palestinian refugees in neighboring countries & those who remain out of reach of most humanitarian aid inside Gaza. The #IPC report, for the 3rd time, tells us what most aid actors know: Gaza is still.

"I'm proud to introduce a repeal of the Caesar Act and will work to repeal other sanctions on Syria. We have other tools to hold the Syrians accountable, as shown by @USAMBTurkiye. We must support their hopes for democracy and security." -@SenatorShaheen ⬇️

We told GHF, US gov, & Israelis - if you do this, it will be the 2024 flour massacre 2.0 in #Gaza. Well, that is exactly what happened. A pointless & tragic loss of civilian life over food access, which has become militarized and leveraged for control.

5/5 GL-25 is great progress; and its time to turn progress into impact on the ground. Donors, banks, and partners to re-engage responsibly and deliver the relief Syrians deserve.

4/5 Sanctions should never block lifesaving aid. Today’s move shows policy can adjust to human needs. This creates the potential for NGOs and private sector to scale programs, restore livelihoods, and help #Syrian rebuild—if the international community seizes this opening.

3/5 @USTreasury should issue rapid, clear guidance so banks and NGOs can act without compliance gridlock. Syrians can’t wait while transactions languish in legal review. Implementation must be swift, safe, and transparent.

2/4 After 13 years of war, Syria’s people face shattered services, collapsing currency, and record hunger. This license re-opens the channels we need—banks, state utilities, service providers—to move food, medicine, and reconstruction support at scale.

🧵 1/5 I strongly welcome @USTreasury’s new OFAC General License No. 25, which lifts broad #Syria sanctions and lets aid groups, banks, and businesses re-engage without fear of penalties. A major step toward real relief for millions of Syrians.

This is promising - very promising.
SCOOP: The Trump admin is preparing to issue Syria sanctions relief by Tuesday — or if not as soon as today. Plan is for a broad general license (GL 25) and Caesar Act waiver. Details here:.
