A Druze leader in al-Suwayda, located in southwestern Syria, has issued a resolution declaring that his community will not live under rebel rule, which he likened to that of ISIS. Instead, the leader expressed the desire for his village to be governed by Israel, seeking to become part of the Jewish state. This resolution reflects the growing frustration among certain Syrian communities, especially in regions like al-Suwayda, where instability and the rise of extremist groups have led to calls for protection from neighboring countries.
The Druze in al-Suwayda have long been under the control of the Assad regime, but with the ongoing civil war and the rise of different rebel factions, some members of the community feel vulnerable and increasingly disconnected from the central government. This declaration has sparked significant attention and concerns regarding the future of the region, especially as it relates to the wider geopolitical dynamics between Syria, Israel, and the Middle East at large.
