Some actions in Syria have come "very close to war crimes," German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Saturday, calling the bombing of hospitals and underground facilities in the besieged city of Aleppo "inhuman." "I think we are very close to war crimes," she said. "Whether there are war crimes, the International Court of Justice decides ... the much more important thing would be, how we can stop it all and move on to a political process?" On Saturday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov were meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland on Syria with the top diplomats of Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar and Iran. "I hope that not just I, but others, will remain at the negotiating table ... there is no military solution in this conflict."
