Parliament postponed the vote Saturday for the 11th time over the intransigence of the pro-Syrian bloc.
The French president stopped short of severing relations with Damascus, saying:
“I will no longer maintain ties with Syria and order all my colleagues to follow suit.” We can wait no longer. Syria must stop talking and act.
