Foreign Minister Gideon Saar attacked Syrian President Ahmad al-Shara, saying his speech "was an expression of support for the jihadist attackers - 'Bedouin tribes as a symbol of noble values and principles' - in his words, and blame of the victims: the attacked Druze minority. Al-Shara seasoned all this with conspiracy theories and accusations against Israel. Bottom line - in al-Shara's Syria, it is very dangerous to be Kurdish, Druze, Alawite or Christian. This has been proven time and again during the past six months. The international community has an obligation to ensure the security and rights of minorities in Syria and to condition Syria's renewed acceptance into the family of nations on their protection."
