From Fabius’s one regret as FM — not striking Syria in 2013
Announcing his departure from France’s foreign ministry, Laurent Fabius tells iTele television his one regret as foreign minister is that “the world didn’t follow” France’s position on Syria. Paris was pushing for a military intervention with the US against Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime during the summer of 2013.
He says “we should have taken action.”
