German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande laid the blame for the U.S. military attack on Syria at the door of President Bashar al-Assad as the U.K. said it „fully supports“ the overnight strike.

Merkel and Hollande held a phone call on Friday morning to discuss the missile strikes on Syria ordered by President Donald Trump, according to a statement distributed by the Federal Chancellery in Berlin and the Elysee Palace in Paris.

The German and French leaders pointed to the killing of scores of civilians with poison gas this week in a rebel-held enclave in the northwestern Syrian province of Idlib, an assault for which the U.S. and its allies have blamed Assad, backing Trump‘s justification that the deployment of chemical weapons is „an affront to humanity.“
