Syria's Druze Face Uncertainty Amid Sectarian Violence, Government Pressure

News summary

Syria's Druze minority is facing significant challenges as the country transitions following the fall of Bashar Assad's regime. They find themselves caught between an Islamist-led government, dominated by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), and Israeli interests, creating a precarious balance of power. While the transitional government has promised inclusivity, historical suspicions towards HTS, due to its past ties with al-Qaida, have left many Druze wary. Tensions have escalated, particularly in regions like Jaramana, where recent violence has highlighted the fragile security situation. Additionally, Israeli officials have expressed readiness to intervene on behalf of the Druze, further complicating the community's position. As economic hardships persist, the Druze continue to seek a stable representation that transcends sectarian divisions, hoping for a peaceful and secular governance structure in Syria.
