U.S. Pressures Mount for Gaza Deal, but Key Dispute Remains - Jordan News
U.S. Pressures Mount for Gaza Deal, but Key Dispute Remains Following President Donald Trump's renewed call to secure a Gaza deal and ensure the return of all remaining hostages, The Times of Israel reported—citing a U.S. official and an Arab diplomat—that Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer is expected to face heavy pressure from the Trump administration during his meetings in Washington this week to finalize a ceasefire agreement that would end the war in Gaza. اضافة اعلان While mediators are urging Israel to send a delegation to Cairo to close the remaining gaps in the negotiations, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has so far refused, preferring to dispatch Dermer to the U.S. capital first in an effort to align with Washington before committing to another round of indirect talks in Egypt. Ceasefire vs. Permanent End to War The core sticking point, according to the sources, is Hamas's demand for a permanent end to the war, while Israel insists on only a temporary ceasefire, preserving the option to resume military operations later. Hamas—supported by Arab mediators—is also pushing to return to previous humanitarian aid distribution mechanisms or replace the current system, which is managed by the Israel- and U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Israel accuses Hamas of diverting humanitarian aid for military purposes, a claim the movement consistently denies.

Syria welcomes Trump's lifting of sanctions as ‘turning point' toward recovery
Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan Al-Shaibani welcomed US President Donald Trump's decision to lift sanctions on Syria, calling the move 'a significant turning point' in the country's path toward economic and political recovery. In an official statement, Shaibani said that the removal of the majority of sanctions imposed on the Syrian Arab Republic, as outlined in President Trump's historic executive order, would 'help propel Syria into a new phase of prosperity, stability, and openness to the international community.' He stressed that lifting this major barrier to economic recovery would open the door to long-awaited reconstruction and development efforts, as well as the rehabilitation of vital infrastructure, creating the necessary conditions for the safe and dignified return of displaced Syrians to their homeland. The minister added that the decision presents a genuine opportunity to strengthen engagement with various international actors and to reintegrate Syria into the global economic system after years of isolation and restrictions.

Trump signs executive order lifting Syria sanctions
US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday dismantling the core framework of economic sanctions on Syria, citing the need to support the country's recovery after over a decade of civil war. The move removes a series of longstanding restrictions aimed at the former Assad regime, though key sanctions on individuals and terror-designated groups remain intact. The decision follows Trump's May 13 declaration to lift all sanctions and open diplomatic channels with Syria's new president, Ahmed al-Sharaa. "This is a blanket opportunity around all the things that we need to turn back on this economy," US Special Envoy for Syria Thomas Barrack told reporters during a phone briefing. "But one thing is clear: Neither the president nor the secretary of state are nation building. They're saying we are going to give you an opportunity." The order, effective Tuesday, revokes five executive orders and lifts the 2004 national emergency declaration on Syria, effectively removing the legal basis for most US sanctions against the country. It also instructs federal agencies to begin lifting export controls and other restrictions related to Syrian commerce and financial institutions. However, the order stops short of fully normalizing US relations with Syria. Sanctions on former President Bashar al-Assad, his allies, and individuals tied to human rights abuses, terrorism, weapons proliferation, or Captagon trafficking remain in place. Additionally, Syria's 1979 designation as a state sponsor of terrorism remains, though officials say it's under review. The executive order does not affect the terrorism designation of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the group that formerly aligned with Al-Qaeda and now plays a central role in the new Syrian government. While HTS controls key ministries, the group has distanced itself from global networks and fought both Daesh and rival militants in recent years. 'The order instructs the State Department to take appropriate action on HTS-related counterterrorism designations,' an administration official said, noting Syria's renewed interest in confronting Daesh and other militias. The Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, passed with bipartisan support to isolate the Assad regime economically, remains in effect, though the Trump administration issued a six-month waiver last month along with a general license to facilitate transactions with Syrian state institutions. Lawmakers from both parties are now pushing legislation to repeal the Caesar Act, which may be folded into the upcoming National Defense Authorization Act. Administration officials argue that the rollback will help attract foreign investment and support Syria's reconstruction efforts, signaling a dramatic US pivot toward engagement rather than isolation.
