MESOP NEWS : US DECISIONS ON SYRIA !
9 May 2017 – House Panel Votes in Favor of Syria Sanctions: On May 3, the House Foreign Affairs Committee voted in favor of new Syria sanctions. The bill from ranking member Eliot Engel (D-NY) targets anyone who does business with the Assad regime while evaluating the feasibility of a no-fly zone. “If you’re taking the side of the Butcher in Damascus over the Syrian people, you’re going to get caught up in these sanctions,” Engel said in his opening remarks. “That means Iran. That means Russia. The blood of the Syrian people is on their hands as well.”
