US Secretary of State John Kerry dismissed any claim by Syrian President Bashar Assad's that there is no evidence he used chemical weapons against his own people, saying on Sunday "the evidence speaks for itself."
Kerry made the remark in response to a question as he began a meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to discuss the resumption of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks on July 29, according to a US reporter who attended a photo session on behalf of other journalists travelling with Kerry.
