Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrote a response on Facebook on Tuesday condemning the chemical attacks in Syria which was allegedly carried out by the Syrian government or Russian jets.
“When I saw pictures of babies suffocating from a chemical attack in Syria, I was shocked and outraged. There's no, none, no excuse whatsoever for the deliberate attacks on civilians and on children, especially with cruel and outlawed chemical weapons,” he wrote.
“I call on the international community to fulfill its obligation from 2013 to fully and finally remove these horrible weapons from Syria.”
Israel’s ambassador to the UN Danny Danon also spoke out against the attacks which claimed scores of children’s lives, writing on Twitter:
“The world cannot be silent in the face of the horrific massacre in Syria and allow this devastation to repeat itself. The UN must act immediately to put an end to the use of any chemical weapons and ensure their removal from Syrian territory. This is the UN's true purpose and it must fulfill this fundamental responsibility.”
