UNITED NATIONS — The United Nations Security Council votes in favor of a US resolution to lift sanctions on Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, ahead of his White House visit next week.
“(The Council) decides that Ahmed al-Sharaa…and (Interior Minister) Anas Hasan Khattab are delisted from the ISIL and Al-Qaida Sanctions List,” says the resolution, approved by 14 council members. China abstained.
