In a significant step towards improving internet access in Syria, the Syrian Minister of Communications and Technology, Abdulsalam Haykal, announced through a tweet on the "X" platform the formation of a specialized task force that will engage with international technology companies to expedite necessary adjustments to enable access to services blocked from Syrians due to US sanctions. Haykal clarified that this initiative is part of efforts to anticipate the cessation of American measures affecting the availability of certain digital services in Syria, aiming to restore Syrians' normal internet usage without the need for circumvention tools like proxies. The Minister of Communications pointed out that Syrians can request activation of needed services through a dedicated link, facilitating their access to these globally restricted services. These efforts come at a crucial time, as the Syrian government hopes to gradually lift internet restrictions, thereby enhancing digital communication with the world and improving digital services for citizens.
