PARIS - France's Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday a Syrian government offensive in the Aleppo and Eastern Ghouta regions threatened a truce agreement and could lead to the collapse of intra-Syrian peace talks. 'France expresses its concern regarding the restart of the violence seen in the last few days,' spokesman Romain Nadal told reporters in a daily briefing. 'It warns that the impact of the regime and its allies' offensives around Aleppo and Eastern Ghouta are a threat to the cessation of hostilities,' he said. He added that the government and its backers would be 'responsible for a new humanitarian crisis and the failure of intra-Syrian negotiations' that are due to restart on Wednesday.
