In a stunning reversal of longstanding U.S. foreign policy, former President Donald Trump has lifted key sanctions on Syria, ending years of crippling economic isolation. The move comes as part of Trump’s promised Middle East shift, following the fall of Bashar al-Assad and the rise of a new interim government in Damascus led by Ahmed al-Sharaa — a former rebel commander.
The U.S. Treasury and State Department jointly announced a sweeping waiver of the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, unlocking billions in potential investment and opening Syria’s oil, electricity, and financial sectors to international engagement. Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared the relief vital to restoring basic services like water, energy, and sanitation.

During his visit to Saudi Arabia, President Trump met with Syria’s new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, marking the first such meeting in 25 years. Trump urged Syria to join the Abraham Accords with Israel, expel foreign militants, and take control of ISIS camps run by Kurdish forces. In return, Trump announced the lifting of crippling U.S. sanctions, offering Syria a chance at economic recovery. The Syrian foreign ministry hailed the meeting as "historic," though the normalization with Israel was not addressed. Crowds in Damascus celebrated the U.S. decision, though the future remains uncertain.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed the death of Hamas chief Mohammed Sinwar in a targeted IDF operation. The strike, carried out on May 13 beneath the European Hospital in Khan Younis, marked a major blow to Hamas leadership. Sinwar, brother of slain leader Yahya Sinwar, had succeeded him after his death. His elimination leaves only one known pre-war Hamas brigade leader alive, signaling a possible turning point in Israel's effort to dismantle the militant group’s command structure.

The Kremlin has intensified its criticism of French President Emmanuel Macron, alleging that France's support for Ukraine includes backing neo-fascist elements. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova cited reports of French nationals fighting in Ukraine's 'International Revenge' unit, accusing them of harboring neo-Nazi ideologies. France has denied these claims, labeling them as disinformation. The accusations come amid ongoing tensions over France's military aid to Ukraine and discussions about deploying peacekeepers, raising questions about Macron's commitment to a peaceful resolution.

Israel has accused French President Emmanuel Macron of launching a “crusade” against the Jewish state over the Gaza humanitarian crisis. Macron’s criticism of aid restrictions and threat of settler sanctions drew sharp rebuke from Israel, which calls his blockade claim a lie and defends its aid efforts. Citing Hamas praise for Macron, Israel accuses him of empowering terrorists. Meanwhile, Macron pushes for a two-state solution and warns of tougher European action if Gaza conditions don’t improve.

French President Emmanuel Macron faces fresh embarrassment after an AI-generated image showing him bruised—with the caption “Is your wife beating you?”—went viral. Shared by a gym promoting self-defence classes, the image mocks an earlier incident where Brigitte Macron appeared to shove him at an airport. The controversial ad has sparked outrage, with critics accusing it of trivializing domestic violence, while others defend it as satire. Macron dismissed the incident as harmless fun, calling the reaction overblown.
