Senior Israeli Druze Officer: The IDF Should Not Intervene in Syria's Civil War
(Maariv Hashavua-Jerusalem Post) Noam Amir - Brig.-Gen. (res.) Imad Fares, one of the most senior Druze figures in the IDF, said Tuesday that Israel will not, and should not, intervene in the fighting in Syria to help the country's embattled Druze community. "Intervention with an Israeli stamp of approval is unacceptable, will not happen, and there is no mutual interest, making it useless to think about....The Druze in Syria also won't want Israel to intervene on their behalf. The Syrian Druze, let's be honest, identify with the Assad regime. Their continued survival is also dependent on other alliances which won't necessarily be helped by joining with Israel."
