Israeli Defense Minister Blames Assad for Syrian Chemical Weapons Attack


(Ynet News) Yossi Yehoshua and Yuval Karni - Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman told Yediot Ahronot on Thursday, "The two murderous chemical weapons attacks on civilians in the Idlib region in Syria and on the local hospital were carried out by direct and premeditated order of Syrian President Bashar Assad, with Syrian planes. I say this with 100% certainty. The cruelest thing is that those who were evacuated from the area of the bombing to the hospital were attacked a second time with chemical weapons as Syrian army planes bombed the hospital." "The reaction of the international community is zero. It simply does not exist. It brings me back to the conclusion that the State of Israel must rely only on itself. Assad tried in the past to obtain nuclear weapons through North Korea."
