Druze religious leader calls on world to ‘stop the quiet massacre’ in Syria
2026-06-30
[IsraelTimes] Speaking at a conference on “The Druze in the Middle East, between crisis and hope,” at Western Galilee College in Acre, Sheikh Mowafaq Tarif, the religious leader of Israel’s Druze community, calls on America and Europe to “stop the quiet massacre that is continuing in Sweida, Syria.”

He says that in 2025, “thousands of Druze were killed, hundreds were kidnapped, women and children were raped.”

“There are still 500,000 Druze trapped in 30 villages in Syria and nobody in the world is talking about it,” he says.

“America and Europe don’t understand terrorism,” Tarif says. “The leaders in Damascus are jihadists. But the Druze are still surviving there. They will not surrender.”
