Israel’s top military intelligence analyst said Syrian government forces have used chemical weapons against rebels, and warned his own country may soon become a target.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry questioned whether there’s hard evidence of chemical arms use, telling reporters that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been unable to confirm the reports in a phone call today.
“I talked to Prime Minister Netanyahu this morning from here,” Kerry said at a gathering of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Brussels. “I think it’s fair to say he was not in a position to confirm that, so it’s up to him and their process as to when and how they do that.”
This doesn’t surprise me, neither does Obama’s backing down from his threats to attack Assad if chemical weapons were used.
