Sheikh Mowafaq Tarif: Netanyahu Commits to Protecting the Druze in Southern Syria and Disarmament

Sheikh Mowafaq Tarif, the spiritual leader of the Druze community in Israel, said on Sunday in an interview with Delil24 that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged that the anticipated agreement with Syria will include disarmament in the south of the country and ensuring the protection of the Druze community in the region.

He added that the issue of the kidnapped Druze was raised during the discussions, but Netanyahu made no commitment to assist in this matter.

It is worth noting that Sheikh Tarif met last August with U.S. envoy to Lebanon and Syria, Tom Barrack, where they discussed similar issues concerning the situation of the Druze community in Syria and the region.
