President Trump's surprise announcement to lift US sanctions on Syria has sparked a scramble within the US government. Months of quiet negotiations paved the way, with Saudi Arabia and Turkey playing key roles. The move, despite Israeli objections, aims to boost Syria's economy and stabilize the region. The US will issue sanctions waivers, a process expected to take weeks. While some officials hailed the decision as 'genius', others expressed concerns about Syria's interim president's past as a jihadist. The long-term impact and successful implementation remain uncertain.
