French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe says atrocities in Syria must be met with a "strong, united and determined response" from the international community.
Philippe spoke Tuesday in France's lower house of parliament about Saturday night's apparent chemical attack in the rebel bastion of Douma.
He says: "The regime's allies have a strong responsibility in this massacre." He said international law has been violated "one more time" in Syria.
Philippe didn't mention the possibility of military intervention in the country.
French President Emmanuel Macron and US President Donald Trump have talked twice in two days to discuss Syria's issues.
