Israel is remaining silent about accusations it led jet strikes on air bases in Syria in response to alleged chemical attacks on Syrian civilians in Douma.
Initial reports in the region stated that the air strikes were led by the U.S., but were later retracted.
It is believed that Russian and the Assad regime used chemical chlorine gas to poison hundreds of Syrian civilians–including women and children.
President Trump vocalized his displeasure with Russian president, Putin, for backing the Assad regime. Criticizing Russia is something Trump has been reluctant to do even in the aftermath of last month’s poisoning of two British spies in England. Trump went on to say that there will be a “big price to pay” for these attacks, but did not go further.
