- Syrian Druze chief suggests Sweida integration into Israel
Syrian Druze leader Hikmat al-Hijri proposed Sweida province's integration into Israel while emphasizing autonomy preservation. He highlighted Israel's support amid ongoing sectarian violence in Syria following Bashar al-Assad's overthrow. Recent conflicts, including attacks in Sweida and Latakia, have intensified fears of reprisals under new President Ahmed al-Sharaa, a former al-Nusra Front leader.
