Senator Lindsey Graham is quietly pushing an amendment to make sanctions on Syria permanent.
Even at the height of Assadโs war crimes and mass atrocities, Congress did not make these sanctions permanent.
The full repeal and removal of Caesar sanctions is the only path forward.

Lindsey Graham just moved to make sanctions on Syria forever.
This extreme amendment to the NDAA would remove their 2029 expiration, let Congress reapply sanctions at will, and block Syriaโs recovery.
The Senate could vote any moment. At least 41 Senators must vote NO.
Major Daniels was integral to this effort. As a U.S. Army Civil Affairs officer at the al-Tanf Garrison, he partnered with SETF to streamline the Denton Program and move food, medicine, and equipment into the camp. His reflection captures the mission and the resilience of Rukbanโs families:
The attempts made towards peace and where Syria stands now as a result:
What happened, who was involved, and what deeper issues preceded this violence:
Seven months after Assadโs fall, violence erupted in Suwayda between Druze and Bedouin communities.
Foreign interference and disinformation turned a local dispute into a national crisis, leaving nearly 100 dead and tens of thousands displaced.
SETF urges Congress to vote NO on H.R. 4427.
This bill undermines President Trumpโs new Syria policy and extends damaging sanctions until 2028โsanctions meant for Assad, not the Syrian people.
SETF stands firmly for full repeal of the Caesar Act and supports H.R. 3941 instead.
