Saudi Arabia has welcomed the easing of sanctions imposed under the United States’ Caesar Act on Syria, describing the development as a constructive step that could help improve humanitarian conditions and support broader efforts to stabilise the region.

Saudi officials said the move would facilitate the delivery of aid, ease economic constraints on ordinary Syrians, and create space for pragmatic regional cooperation.

Riyadh’s response reflects its wider policy of re-engaging with Arab states to promote dialogue, de-escalation, and long-term stability.

The partial lifting or relaxation of sanctions is seen by Saudi Arabia as a practical measure that can help address urgent humanitarian needs while encouraging gradual economic recovery, without undermining the importance of political solutions.

Officials emphasised that alleviating civilian suffering remains a priority and that sanctions relief can play a role in restoring basic services and livelihoods.

The Caesar Act, which imposed sweeping restrictions on transactions with Syria, has long been cited by regional governments as a major obstacle to reconstruction and humanitarian assistance.

Saudi Arabia has consistently argued that broad-based sanctions disproportionately affect civilians and complicate efforts by neighbouring countries to manage refugee flows, economic spillovers, and security challenges.

By welcoming the sanctions adjustment, Saudi Arabia signalled its support for a more flexible and engagement-oriented approach toward Syria, aligned with recent regional initiatives aimed at reintegrating Damascus into Arab diplomatic frameworks.

Saudi officials said continued coordination with international partners and regional states would be essential to ensure that any sanctions relief translates into tangible benefits for the Syrian people and contributes to lasting regional stability.
