  • The French justice system has established the former Syrian president's complicity in a bombing raid on the city of Deraa in 2017. Bashar al-Assad is the target of a new arrest warrant (the second) issued by France for complicity in war crimes.

The article from MSN discusses France's stance on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, highlighting the French government's call for his punishment due to alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity during the Syrian civil war.

The article also touches on the broader implications of Assad's potential prosecution, including the challenges of international law and the geopolitical dynamics at play, with France advocating for a strong international response to ensure Assad faces consequences for his actions.
