PM condemns Syria gas attack, calls for chemical weapons ban
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemns the suspected chemical attack that killed at least 58 people in a rebel-held town in Syria, and calls on the international community to increase efforts against the use of chemical weapons.
“The shocking images of Syria should horrify any human being,” Netanyahu tweets. “Israel strongly condemns the use of chemical weapons in any situation, especially against innocent civilians.”
“Israel calls on the international community to uphold its promise in 2013 and ban all chemical weapons from Syria,” Netanyahu says in another tweet.
“The cruel war emphasizes the importance of our own imperative: we will always defend ourselves against every enemy and threat,” he adds.
