France demands halt to bombings of Syrian civilians
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius calls on the Syrian regime Monday to end the siege of rebel-held Madaya and says a halt to air strikes by the regime and its Russian ally is an “absolute necessity.”
It is an “absolute necessity for Syria and Russia to stop their military operations against civilian populations, and in particular that the ordeal facing Madaya and all the besieged Syrian villages come to an end,” Fabius tells journalists during his New Year’s greeting.
