In a statement posted to X (formerly Twitter), Sa’ar wrote:

“The speech of Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara was a display of support for the jihadists attackers (in al-Shara’s words: ‘The Bedouin tribes as a symbol of noble values and principles’) and blaming the victims (the attacked Druze minority).”

Sa’ar also accused al-Shara of fueling conspiracy theories and making inflammatory accusations against Israel. “Al-Shara spiced all this with conspiracy theories and accusations against Israel,” he noted.

The statement comes amid escalating concerns for Syria's minority populations, particularly the Druze, Kurds, Alawites, and Christians, many of whom have been targeted in a series of violent incidents over the past six months.

“Bottom line,” Sa’ar warned, “In al-Shara’s Syria, it is very dangerous to be a member of a minority—Kurd, Druze, Alawite, or Christian. This has been proven time and again over the past six months.”

He called on the international community to take a firm stance, urging global leaders to condition Syria’s reintegration into the international community on the protection of its minority groups.

“The international community has a duty to ensure the security and rights of the minorities in Syria and to condition Syria’s renewed acceptance into the family of nations on their protection,” Sa’ar concluded.

IsraelDaily will continue to monitor developments in Syria as regional tensions rise and the rights of vulnerable communities remain in jeopardy.
