| 2012-08-28 | |
| French President Francois Hollande warned yesterday that the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime would be a legitimate reason for a foreign intervention. “We with our allies remain very watchful to prevent the use of chemical weapons by the regime, which would be for the international community a legitimate cause for direct intervention,” Hollande said in a speech to French diplomats. According to AFP, Hollande also said France was ready to recognize a provisional Syrian government once it was formed and urged rebels to establish one as soon as possible. Calling for an “intensification of efforts for the political transition to take place quickly,” Hollande urged the Syrian opposition to form a “provisional, inclusive and representative” government. Hollande said the opposition of Russia and China to action against the Syrian regime was weakening the UN.
