Al-Azem added in statements to (12/6/2020) episode of "From Washington" program that the law will not bring down the Syrian regime, as it will lead to a great pressure on the people.
He added that the law aims to prevent the Syrian regime, Russia and Iran from benefiting from the reconstruction of Syria for a period of at least five years, ruling that Moscow would not abandon President Bashar al-Assad because of the repercussions of the law, but it would abandon it if it achieved personal interests of President Vladimir Putin.
For his part, Gabriel Soma, a member of the advisory committee for President Donald Trump's campaign, said that the "Caesar" law may lead to persuading Russia of the need to end the Assad regime, but the situation in Syria is complicated by the presence of foreign fighters fighting in the ranks of the regime, in addition to Assad's attempt to benefit from the restoration of Reconstruction of Syria, but the "Caesar" law prevents such benefit from occurring.
Soma added that the United States or Russia have no vital interests in Syria, but Moscow may have geopolitical interests there by establishing bases in the Mediterranean. The US administration aims from the law to prevent any country seeking to open lines of trade with the Syrian regime because it killed more than half a million people.
For his part, writer and political researcher Fathi Al Daw said that the incident of the killing of African-American George Floyd has awakened the world, as evidenced by the outbreak of demonstrations all over the globe. This global awakening comes with the issuance of the "Caesar" Law regarding Syria, which gave it great impetus.
Al-Daw added that he does not believe in the principle of sanctions in holding accountable the regimes that kill their people, pointing out that Iraq and Sudan were subjected to such sanctions, but they were able to find exits from them.
