Druze Leaders Ask Israel to Take in Syrian Brethren
(Times of Israel) Haviv Rettig Gur - Leaders of the Druze community on the Golan Heights have asked Israel to take in Druze students who had left the Golan and settled in Syria, Maariv reported. While the request referred only to the students, a broader issue was raised in talks with Prime Minister's Office Director-General Harel Locker: family members of the Golan Druze trapped in the conflict zones of the Syrian civil war. One Druze leader said, "There are many families in Syria who have relatives living here, and they are asking us for sanctuary from the battles taking place over there."
