Lebanese Druze leader Walid Jumblatt yesterday called on Syria’s Druze community to remain cautious of Israeli plots, Anadolu reported.
Speaking at a press conference, the former leader of the Progressive Socialist Party said: “The free people of Jabal Al-Arab [the Druze] must be wary of Israeli schemes in Syria.”
“There is a plan to undermine Arab national security,” he stressed.
He mentioned plans to revisit Syria to address the ongoing developments and confirmed that he has requested a meeting with Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa next week.
Commenting on the Druze community, Jumblatt said: “Those who united Syria during the era of Sultan Pasha Al-Atrash will not heed the calls of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.”
