French Government Mulling Airstrike Of Syrian Chemical Facilities

The French government is considering an airstrike to completely destroy the chemical facilities in Syria.

This is in reaction to the use of chemical weapons in the ongoing war in Syria.

Speaking with the Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, French President Emmanuel Macron said the decision would be taken soon.

Our decision will not target allies of the regime or attack anyone but rather attack the regime’s chemical capabilities,” he told a press conference, insisting he did “not want an escalation,” he said.

Asked Tuesday in Paris if Riyadh could also take part in strikes against the Syrian regime, Prince Mohammad said: “If our alliance with our partners calls for it, we will step up.”
