I fully share the concern of Shimon Peres about the use of chemical weapons in the possession of the Syrians and if the situation should reach a crisis, I hope that the terms of Chapter VII of the UN Charter will be applied. In other words, that the use of armed force will be allowed under exceptional circumstances. It is totally unacceptable for innocent children to be sacrificed.”
