US Secretary of State John Kerry called upon the American Congress to approve the plan submitted by the US President Barack Obama to launch limited strikes against Syria.

During the first congress meeting, dedicated to discuss Obama's plan on Tuesday,, Kerry said "We have nothing to do but to respond (to the alleged use of chemical weapons). If we abstained from responding this will lead to worse repercussions."

The U.S. diplomat, who was an anti-war protester in 1971, made it clear that any step against the Syrian regime will create serious threat for Syria neighboring countries and will threaten the United States national security.

"The United States is waiting to see a Russian proposal to put Syria's chemical weapons stock under international control, but will not wait for long," he added.

The US secretary of state told lawmakers that putting Syria's stockpile under international supervisions could be the "ideal way" to remove the arms, but warned it would be "exceedingly difficult."

He also noted that he called the Zionist Prime Minister Binjamin Netanyahu, who stressed that his entity does not want to participate in the military operation against Syria, but is well aware of the threat waging around it.
