UK lifts sanctions against Syria's defense ministry and intelligence agencies

Britain on Thursday lifted assets freezes it had previously imposed on Syria's defense and interior ministries, and a range of intelligence agencies.

The West is rethinking its approach to Syria after insurgent forces led by the Islamist Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) ousted Bashar al-Assad as president in December after more than 13 years of civil war.
