Israel says 10,000 aid packages sent to Syrian Druze, part of ‘minority alliance’
[IsraelTimes] Israel sent 10,000 food packages to Druze in Syria in recent weeks, the Foreign Ministry says.

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, who is credited by his office with initiating the effort, says the packages are part of a pact between minority communities in the Middle East.

“We have a courageous alliance with our Druze brothers,” he says in a statement. “It is a privilege to help them. In a region where we will always be a minority – it is necessary and right to help other minorities.”

Most of the packages reached the Suwayda area, some 75 kilometers from the border with Israel, while others were given to Druze communities closer to the border, says the Foreign Ministry.

The packages contain oil, salt, flour, sugar, rice, and other staples.

According to the Foreign Ministry, the operation was conducted in cooperation with the IDF; Sheikh Muafak Tarif, who is spiritual leader of the Druze community in Israel; the Druze Religious Council; and “other parties in the region.”
