Alawite leaders in Syria have reached out to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for protection from the new regime lead by Ahmad al-Sharaa, expressing their readiness to welcome Israeli forces. They have outlined specific military and diplomatic requests to ensure their safety and draw attention to the violence faced by their community.
Alawite leaders in Syria have urgently requested assistance from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, expressing their feelings of abandonment and fear due to the ongoing violence from the regime led by Ahmad al-Sharaa. In a letter obtained by i24NEWS, they stated, “Save us from the brutal regime; we will welcome you with songs and flowers.” This correspondence was shared with various Israeli officials, including Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, through intermediaries facilitating communication between Syria and Israel.
The Alawite minority, previously loyal to former president Bashar al-Assad, has faced significant reprisals since the regime’s collapse, with recent massacres highlighting their vulnerability. They urged the Israeli government to step in, emphasizing that the international community has largely remained indifferent to their plight while only Israel has been vocal. The plea highlighted their willingness to support Israel in return for protection.
In their appeal, the Alawite leaders outlined specific demands: they called for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), including the Air Force, to safeguard their community, the deployment of Israeli naval vessels off the Syrian coast, and for the Israeli Foreign Ministry to elevate awareness of the crimes against the Druze population. Additionally, they urged Israeli media outlets to cover the ongoing atrocities in Syria, seeking to unite against what they termed “Islamic arrogance led by Turkey.”
The appeal from Alawite leaders in Syria underscores their dire situation amidst escalating violence under the new regime. Through direct communication with Israeli officials, they seek military and diplomatic support, emphasizing their plight as a minority in a volatile region. Their requests highlight the need for international attention and intervention regarding human rights abuses in Syria, particularly against vulnerable populations.
