Syria has responded to a list of U.S. conditions for sanctions relief, stating that it has fulfilled most of the demands but others require 'mutual understandings' with Washington. The U.S. handed Syria a list of eight conditions, including the destruction of chemical weapons and the removal of foreign fighters from top posts. Syria is in desperate need of sanctions relief to revive its economy, but the U.S. has only granted a six-month exemption. In exchange for fulfilling all the demands, Washington would extend the suspension for two years. Syria's response also details its work on chemical arms and vows not to threaten Israel.
