The United Nations Security Council has removed Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa from its ISIL and Al-Qaida sanctions list, following a US-backed resolution marking a significant shift in the international stance on Syria. This move is widely viewed as an acknowledgment of a "new era" in the country.
The resolution, supported by 14 of the 15 Council members with China abstaining, sees the delisting of al-Sharaa and Interior Minister Anas Hasan Khattab. This action was praised by diplomats as a strategic step towards Syria's political and economic recovery under new leadership.
