Eliot Engel: “The administration, in my opinion, appears to be handing Syrian territory over to the Assad regime.”

I think that is scandalous and I think it, frankly, undermines whatever policy we are pursuing in Syria.

I introduced the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act several years ago as a response to what we saw in this room.

Why have there been no designations by us of Russian companies and individuals who are so clearly and shamelessly giving Assad a lifeline?

This legislation, passed into law last December, mandates the most sweeping sanctions on Assad's enablers.
