Britain, Germany: Won't take part in airstrikes on Syria
[Ynet] Britannia's foreign secretary says his country won't participate in Arclight airstrikes on Syria, following an announcement from Washington that it would begin hitting targets inside the country.
Speaking Thursday after talks with his German counterpart Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Philip Hammond said Britannia won't be "revisiting" the issue after Parliament decided last year against participating in Arclight airstrikes.
Germany often shuns taking part in combat operations and Steinmeier said his country also wouldn't join in any Arclight airstrikes.
