Contrary to the US government’s proclamation during Donald Trump’s recent visit to Saudi Arabia—which portrayed the decision to lift sanctions on Syria as extensive and unconditional—new details reveal a three-phase removal plan tied to strict conditions, according to webangah News Agency.
US leverages sanctions relief as bargaining chip against Joulani
The plan, partially disclosed by Associated Press, primarily revolves around maintaining sanctions as pressure tools against Syria’s new government. The US intends to temporarily suspend sanctions through short-term waivers before linking their full removal to stringent demands, including expelling Palestinian groups from Syria.
The policy framework drafted by the US State Department prioritizes Israel’s security and ultimately aims to normalize relations between Syria’s new leadership and Tel Aviv.
This revelation comes as the US administration has hesitated to take concrete steps toward lifting congressional-mandated sanctions on Syria. The disclosures align with Washington’s previously stated preconditions for reengaging with Damascus.
Abu Mohammad al-joulani had already taken steps aligning with US demands: remaining Palestinian factions in Syria face severe restrictions, while efforts—both direct (through syrian delegations visiting Tel Aviv) and indirect (via Turkish-Emirati mediation)—have intensified toward normalization.
In statements carried by US media, Trump framed Syria-Israel normalization as critical for stabilizing Syria’s domestic affairs. White House spokesperson Caroline Levitt echoed this during her analysis of Trump’s Saudi meeting with Joulani: “Trump discussed five key issues with him, including signing a normalization deal with Israel.”
Joulani tightens noose around Palestinian factions in Syria
Media reports indicate that Khaled Jibril (son of the Popular Front for Palestine Liberation founder), Khalid Abdul Majeed (Secretary-General of the Popular Struggle Front in Syria), and Ziad al-Saghir (Secretary-General of Fatah al-Intifada) were forced out under sustained pressure from Syrian transitional authorities.
Agencie France-Presse cited an unnamed Palestinian leader stating that while no formal expulsion orders were issued, assets were seized members detained/harassed effectively banning their operations. Another Palestinian source in Damascus confirmed frozen relations between most factions and Syrian officials leaving leaders feeling compelled depart.
Thomas Barak Trump-appointed special envoy post-confirmation asserted: “Trump envisions stable peaceful neighborly future.” On may 13th pledged lift crippling enable stabilization.
He added: regional partners Turkey Arab states help restore peace security hope currently Secretary Mark Rubio oversees implementation.

According to webangah News Agency, Zionist sources report that the US-backed plan to distribute humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip has been delayed by several days.
The initiative was scheduled to be implemented next week, but logistical challenges have reportedly caused the postponement, according to Zionist sources.
Earlier, Al Mayadeen network reported that Hebrew media cited American officials stating the United Nations refused to cooperate with “Israel” and US companies in distributing aid to Gaza.
The Washington Post also reported informed sources saying the US-supported humanitarian aid distribution plan for Gaza faces meaningful challenges. The report highlights widespread skepticism about the plan’s effectiveness, with senior Zionist regime officers also doubting its feasibility.
The report emphasizes lingering questions about whether this plan aims at occupying Gaza. Aid organizations have yet to join this initiative.
According to a report by webangah News Agency, Israeli regime media revealed that Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has spent thousands of shekels (the currency of the Zionist regime) to enhance his reputation and standing in both traditional and digital media.
The report states that Smotrich has repeatedly angered families of Zionist captives due to his stance against agreements for their release. He previously claimed that returning captives is not the primary objective of the Israeli cabinet, asserting instead that Tel Aviv’s focus remains on destroying hamas.
A high-ranking Zionist officer has strongly criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent comments about Palestinian resistance groups, according to a report by webangah News Agency.
Teh officer stated that Tel Aviv’s leadership was “terrified” during the October 7 Palestinian operation, adding that Netanyahu’s claim about Palestinians conducting the attack “with slippers and Kalashnikovs” doesn’t diminish Hamas’s capabilities. Instead,he argued,such remarks only devalue Israeli forces.
The veteran officer with over four decades of military service emphasized that Al-Qassam Brigades were fully equipped: “They were armed head to toe with various gear, lacking nothing compared to regular armies. Hundreds of drones were deployed to neutralize Israel’s advanced systems and target the world’s best tanks.”
He stressed Hamas fighters’ preparedness: “They resisted under siege for extended periods and can produce thousands of precision missiles and new dialog systems. While some fighters might wear slippers in certain areas, Netanyahu’s description doesn’t reflect the full reality.”
