PM tells cabinet he supports recent US strike in Syria
None
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this morning, praised the Trump administration at the start of the weekly Cabinet meeting, for its decision to launch a strike in Syria following Assad's alleged chemical attack that killed hundreds, inlcuding children.
"Israel fully supports the American attack on Syria. They did this for moral reasons in light of the harsh scenes from Idlib and also to make it clear that there is a price for using chemical weapons. There is an international commitment from 2013 to remove all chemical weapons from Syria. As we have seen, this commitment has yet to be fully implemented. We call on the international community to complete the work, and this is an opportunity for American-Russian cooperation in this specific area. This work needs to be completed. Israel is caring for wounded Syrians as part of a humanitarian effort. We will continue to do so."
