France says U.S. pull out, Turkish offensive in Syria could strengthen Islamic State
France will monitor closely a U.S. withdrawal from northern Syria and a possible Turkish offensive because it could strengthen Islamic State, its armed forces minister said on Monday.
"We have to be extremely vigilant that such a move, which goes against the objectives of the (anti-Islamic State) coalition, could strengthen Islamic State rather than weakening or destroying it," Florence Parly told reporters in northern France.
