The international community has committed to transferring about 20 billion dollars to Syria – will the Sweida events change anything? In recent months, the international community has committed to supporting the Syrian economy with about 20 billion dollars. These commitments come in the form of aid, grants, and investments. For example, the Brussels Summit held earlier this year committed to transferring about 6.5 billion dollars to Syria, an international consortium led by a Qatari company committed to investing 7 billion dollars in solar energy projects, and just this week, the Dubai Ports Company signed an agreement with the Syrian government worth 800 million dollars. These funds are necessary for the Syrian regime, where 90% of the population lives below the poverty line. The huge amount of money to be funneled into Syria is supposed to help the regime consolidate its rule, along with what appears to be consolidation in additional areas such as the Druze Mountain. Will reports of the killing and abuse of Druze stop the flow of funds to Syria? Probably not. Even after the massacre on the Syrian coast, the international community continued to embrace the jihadist regime in Syria, and it does not seem that a change will occur now. (Doron Peskin) |

Reports: Syrian regime forces executed Druze; Israel warned before attacking: Although the Syrian government announced a ceasefire, deadly clashes continue in the province of As-Suwayda between Druze militias and Bedouin groups, who are aided by the forces of President al-Sharaa. More than 200 were killed. Regime fighters were sent to calm things down, but are accused of involvement in atrocities against the Druze - abuse, burning of houses and even executions of civilians. Israel attacked Syrian regime targets to help the Druze, after warning Damascus: "We oppose your entry into the area" 1 Like |

Defense Minister Israel Katz: The Syrian regime must leave the Druze in Sweida and withdraw its forces. As we have made clear and warned - Israel will not abandon the Druze in Syria and will impose the demilitarization policy we have decided on. The IDF will continue to attack regime forces until their withdrawal from the area - and will also soon raise the level of responses against the regime if the message is not understood. |

The UN's entire commission of inquiry against Israel has resigned, in fear of U.S. sanctions. A broad coalition of 22 nations condemned the inquiry's anti-Israel bias: established • It was with an “open-ended mandate with no sunset clause, end date, or clear limitations...” • “We believe the nature of the COI is further demonstration of long-standing, disproportionate attention given to Israel in the Council, which must stop.” • “We continue to believe that this long-standing disproportionate scrutiny should end, and that the Council should address all human rights concerns, regardless of country, in an even-handed manner.” • “Regrettably, we are concerned that the Commission of Inquiry will further contribute to the polarization of a situation about which so many of us are concerned.” |

Amini’s 2022 death at the hands of Iran’s morality police—allegedly for not wearing her hijab properly—ignited global protests and became a powerful symbol of defiance against the regime. 1 Like

Letter of Gratitude from Syrian Druze to the State of Israel : In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful On this historic day, we must, with all respect and appreciation, acknowledge the historic stance of the State of Israel—its government, army, and people—for its support of the Druze community in Sweida and its continued assistance in confronting this Daesh (ISIS) aggression. This is a position that counts in favor of Israel and Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu, and adds to its record of defending truth, ethics, and human values. The Druze community is indebted to Israel—the state, its people, its army, and its leadership.

The IDF will continue to operate forcefully in Sweida to destroy the forces that attacked the Druze until their full withdrawal. Our Druze brothers in Israel, you can count on the Israel Defense Forces to protect your brothers in Syria.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "My brothers, Druze citizens of Israel, the situation in As-Suweida, the situation in southwestern Syria, is very serious. The IDF is operating, the Air Force is operating, other forces are operating. We are operating to save our Druze brothers and to eliminate the regime's gangs. And now I have one request for you: You are citizens of Israel. Do not cross the border. You are endangering your lives; you can be murdered, you can be kidnapped, and you are harming the efforts of the IDF. Therefore, I ask you – return to your homes, let the IDF operate." 2 Likes
