I'll go back to my response to the question on sanctions.
There was evaluation. It certainly has not been a perfect transition, and I don't think anybody would characterize it as such. Any death of civilians or massacre is unacceptable, and the government needs to hold those persons to account.
There have definitely been improvements from where we were to now. March 2026 will likely be the least violent month in 15 years in Syria. I think the total number of people killed is 12—four by UXOs, four from ISIS and four in other events. Those four are unacceptable. The government needs to do more to lower it and put in place structures and systems so that communal violence can't happen.
The decision to remove sanctions is about trying to find a way to support that transition and build a government that is more stable and inclusive.
