Lebanon's Druze spiritual leader rejects Israeli interference in Syria
by Naharnet Newsdesk 19 July 2025, 12:06 The spiritual leader of the Druze community in Lebanon, Sheikh Sami Abi al-Muna, said at a gathering of Druze officials in Beirut that sectarian clashes in Syria 'give an excuse for Israeli intervention and for blowing up the situation in the region.' 'We do not accept to request protection from Israel, which we believe is harmful to our history and identity,' he said. Al-Muna called for all parties to adhere to the ceasefire agreement reached Wednesday and for a national dialogue to address the issues between different communities in Syria. Lebanese Druze leader Walid Jumblat, who had been one of the regional figures mediating the ceasefire reached Wednesday, at the same gathering called for the formation of an investigative committee to investigate violations against both Druze and Bedouins in Syria.
