July 22, 2025, WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Syrian Emergency Task Force (SETF) urges all members of Congress to vote NO on H.R. 4427, the Syria bill in the House Financial Services Committee. This law would put in new conditions to the Caesar Act which did not apply to Assad, and require they be met for two full years after being signed into law, which would end up being 2028. This goes against President Trump’s agenda of “giving Syria a chance” and allowing long term investment in Syria.

The Syrian Emergency Task Force brought key witnesses like “Caesar”, “The Gravedigger” and victims of torture that helped make the ‘Caesar Act’ law, in order to help stop the genocidal massacres of the Assad regime, and we are now calling for its full repeal. Today, with H.R. 4427 Congress is sanctioning the Syrian people. President Trump’s administration has a clear policy on Syria to lift sanctions and give Syria a chance, this bill does the opposite.

SETF and Ambassador Tom Barrack have publicly endorsed Rep. Wilson’s (R-SC) bill (H.R. 3941), to repeal the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act of 2019. This bill has bipartisan support in the U.S. House of Representatives, including six Republicans and four Democrats, and has a bipartisan companion bill in the U.S. Senate (S.2133), with the same name. It is the moral obligation of Congress to fully repeal Caesar which was about punishing Assad not the Syrian people.
