Lebanese Druze Leader Walid Jumblatt Warns Israel
Jumblatt stated that any attempts by Israel to use the Druze for its own purposes would find no support within their community. He warned of a conspiracy aimed at dragging Syria into a civil war under the pretext of protecting the Druze population.
Key Points of His Statement:
- No one who claims to represent the Druze through cooperation with Zionists is a true representative of the community.
- Israel manipulates interfaith differences to advance its interests in the region.
- The Druze community trusts the Syrian leadership in countering Israeli plans.
- Until an independent Palestinian state is established, the Druze will not accept the idea of reconciliation with Israel.
Although Jumblatt is the leader of the Lebanese Druze, his influence is also strong within the Syrian Druze community.
At the end of last year, he visited Ankara at the invitation of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, where he discussed regional issues and stability in the Middle East.
