April 4, 2017

WASHINGTON, D.C. –Congressman Michael McCaul (R-TX), a senior member on the Foreign Affairs Committee, released the below statement following the deadly chemical attack in Idlib, Syria.

Congressman McCaul: "This most recent chemical weapons attack is yet another example of why a political solution to the Syrian civil war is desperately needed. The international community must forbid the use of chemical weapons in Syria to become the new norm and do more to hold those responsible for these attacks accountable. I urge the United Nations to move swiftly to investigate this crime and join the Trump administration and the international community in the condemnation of this horrific attack on the innocent civilians caught in the middle of this brutal conflict."
