Mattis: Assad still has chemical weapons

tel aviv - The United States is convinced that the Syrian government still has chemical weapons. The US Secretary of Defense James Mattis repeated that on Friday in Tel Aviv, where he met his Israeli colleague Avigdor Lieberman.

'There is no doubt that Syria has retained chemical weapons and has not destroyed the entire stock,' Mattis said. 'It would be very stupid to try again. 'According to a radio message from the Israeli army, Assad has a few tons of chemical weapons. Mattis did not want to say anything about anything.
