Morning update

Morning update Good morning Middle East Eye readers, Here are the latest developments: Syrian president Ahmad al-Sharaa said that his country has entered a new phase of "reconstruction" after the US lifted sanctions. "We are at the beginning of a long and sustainable road defined by dignity, revival, reconstruction, development and civilisation," Sharaa said during the opening of the 63rd Damascus International Fair. The head of the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (Unrwa) told Al Jazeera that the Israeli government’s raid on the last remaining facility run by the UN agency earlier this weep is an attempt to "eliminate the presence of the United Nations" in the occupied Palestinian territories.
