LONDON: The EU removed sanctions against seven Syrian government entities on Monday, including the defense and interior ministries. The move will “support the strengthening of the EU’s engagement with Syria,” the European Council said. The council also said that it was extending sanctions targeting individuals and entities linked to the former regime of Bashar Assad until June 2027. The EU first installed the measures in 2011 in response to Assad’s brutal crackdown on the civilian population during the Arab Spring protests, which ignited a 14-year civil war.
