Syria Druze, minorities facing violence, massacre

Summary

The Druze community in southern Syria is facing severe persecution under the ISIS/Taliban regime, prompting Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar to call for international intervention to protect minorities. However, the author criticizes this appeal as ineffective and argues that Israel, as a regional power, must take responsibility for safeguarding the Druze by securing southern Syria to prevent further violence. The piece emphasizes the moral obligation Israel has to act decisively, as failure to do so could lead to increased threats from jihadist groups in the region.
