France denies Chirac encouraged Israeli attack against Syria
France strongly denied on Monday press reports that President Jacques Chirac had encouraged Israel to attack and destabilize Syria during the Israeli-Lebanese war last July and August. Asked to confirm information that was published regarding the above assertions in the Israeli newspaper "Maariv," the French Foreign Ministry dismissed the reports out of hand. "We categorically deny this information which is devoid of all foundation," Foreign Ministry deputy spokesman Denis Simmoneau said at a briefing.Posted by: Fred 2007-03-20 |
