Joe Wilson Welcomes U.S. Senate’s Approval to Repeal the “Caesar Act”

ARK News.. Republican Senator Joe Wilson has welcomed the U.S. Senate’s approval to repeal the Caesar Act, as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), stressing that Syria’s success now depends on the complete and unconditional lifting of sanctions.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Wilson stated:

“These harsh sanctions — the Caesar Act — were imposed on a regime that fortunately no longer exists. Syria’s success now depends on a total repeal.”

Earlier, Mohammed Alaa Ghanem, a member of the Syrian American Council, revealed that advocacy efforts succeeded in inserting a provision to repeal the Caesar Act within the Senate’s version of the U.S. Department of Defense budget.

Ghanem explained that the U.S. Senate passed its version of the defense budget with 77 votes in favor and 22 against, noting that the included article stipulates the unconditional repeal of the Caesar Act by the end of this year.

He described the decision as a “dramatic victory in every sense of the word.”
