| [IsraelTimes] Israel has begun staff work on a pilot program that would allow Syrian Druze to work in Israeli towns on the Golan Heights, according to the Kan public broadcaster. The program was initiated by Golan Druze who asked Israeli security officials and the military to assist their Druze brethren over the border, says Kan. The plan is being drawn up by Gen. Ghassan Alian, who heads the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories and is Druze himself. The initial stage will see dozens of Syrian Druze working in construction and agriculture in Golan Druze towns. Israeli leaders have publicly warned Syria’s government not to harm the Druze in southwestern Syria, and regularly speak with foreign leaders about the importance of protecting them, along with Syria’s Kurds.
