US President Barack Obama on Wednesday warned the Damascus regime it would be held accountable for any use of chemical weapons against civilians in Syria in a move which would spark an international response.
Speaking at a news conference in Jerusalem, Obama said the use of chemical agents against the Syrian people would be a “grave and tragic mistake” and a “game-changer.”
“The Assad regime must understand they will be held accountable,” he said.
