'Conditions Have Been Met': US Prepares To Remove Syria From Terror List

A state department official said Rubio ‘assessed’ that Syria met its requirements, despite thousands of sectarian killings and government ties to ISIS

The extremist-led Damascus government is set to be removed from the US terror list, reports on 22 August said – following months of direct cooperation with Washington on several matters, including a crackdown on Palestinian and Lebanese resistance, as well as direct talks with Israel.

The development comes despite the thousands of sectarian killings carried out by new Syrian government troops since the fall of former president Bashar al-Assad’s administration.

A US congressional review was set to be completed on Saturday to assess if the new authorities in Damascus had met the appropriate conditions for removal from the terror list.

“[US Secretary of State Marco] Rubio’s July recommendation to revoke the designation reflected his assessment that Syria had met the legal and political conditions required for removal,” a US State Department official told the New Arab over the weekend.

A Syrian official also addressed the matter on social media.

❗️Indian refiners to avoid 45 ships blacklisted by Iran over Hormuz risks

At least three Indian oil refiners and a major global energy company plan to stop using vessels named on Iran’s new blacklist, including for ship-to-ship (STS) transfers, citing security concerns, four sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters this week.

Iran announced on Sunday a blacklist of 45 vessels it said had violated its rules for transiting the Strait of Hormuz, warning that it would also act against ships conducting cargo transfers with those vessels.

The vessels on Iran’s list could face fines, detention and cargo confiscation, according to a post on X by the Persian Gulf Strait Authority.

"We will avoid our chartered vessels dealing or STS or anything to do with non-compliant ships for Middle Eastern cargoes," said one of the sources, who works at an Indian refinery.

Some of the tankers on Iran’s list are owned or chartered by Saudi Aramco and Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (ADNOC). Shipping data shows the vessels have been used to transport crude, refined products and liquefied natural gas (LNG) out of the Gulf for STS transfers off Fujairah in the UAE or Sohar in Oman.

❗️An Israeli court has acquitted Israeli settler Yona Schreiber, a resident of the occupied West Bank settlement of Peduel, of charges related to the late April assault on a Christian nun in Jerusalem's Old City.

According to Kan 11, the Jerusalem Magistrates' Court ruled that Schreiber was not criminally responsible, accepting that he was experiencing a psychotic episode at the time of the attack and could not comprehend his actions.

❗️UK PM Burnham poised to ban trade with Jewish settlements in occupied West Bank

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham is expected to announce a complete ban on imports of goods from Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, according to British media reports.

The Telegraph reported that Burnham is weighing a full trade embargo on all settlements in response to Israel’s planned construction in the E1 area. The measure could be announced “within weeks,” the report said.

The Times reported that the Labour leader, seeking to take a tougher stance toward Israel than his predecessor Keir Starmer, plans to introduce “robust” new sanctions targeting Jewish settlements. He could also impose sanctions on far-right Israeli ministers and individual settlers, according to the report.

Labour Friends of Israel, a pro-Israel advocacy group within the center-left party, said that it would not be feasible to prohibit trade with settlements alone, arguing that such a move would amount to a “de facto boycott of all of Israel.”

Flashback:

An Israeli court has acquitted a jewish man who attacked a nun in Jerusalem in an incident caught on CCTV which drew widespread condemnation.

Jerusalem Magistrates Court said Yona Schreiber was experiencing a 'psychotic episode' when he pushed over and kicked the French nun in the Old City in occupied East Jerusalem in April.

It ruled that he was not criminally responsible for his actions and ordered him to be sent to a open psychiatric hospital for up to six years for monitoring.

Chat, I am undergoing serious development sprint on my DAO bot / mini-app / web-app, as well as my formatting bot I help use to curate and post to this channel.

Bare with me, i know posting frequency has died down, and for months Ive not been doing the 1 post an hour I was doing for years - Ive been juggling alot.

Im excited to show yall what I have been cooking up though, its been 8 months of Alpha Development and testing and I feel I am in the home stretch.

Stay tuned.

I will be packaging the bots I use to help auto-format posts to this channel within the Psyopdaily DAO mini-app and bot, among other useful tools. A telegram native hootsuite-esque social media aggregator will be built to mirror from telegram to other platforms (or visa versa if a channel admin wants to mirror another platform's socials to a TG channel).

Will be giving free access to the bots for DAO participants and DAO community channel posting admins to use for the DAO channel (clicking check-in on daily check-in posts will be how a user aquires the points within my DAO App for the Bot to automatically promote them to the community DAO channel)

Having enough Psypoints (accrued by clicking daily check-in button testing on @antiwarnews atm) will allow telegram users who are admins of unaffiliated channels to use it for their own channel.
