Le Drian's predecessor as Minister of Foreign Affairs Jean-Marc Ayrault said on 19 April 2017 he would provide proof "in the coming days" that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces used chemical weapons in an attack on April 4 in Khan Shaykhun.[3] By July 2017, neither Ayrault nor Le Drian had provided any such proof.[4]
