Israel's new status will be defending non-Islamist minorities in the Middle East - opinion

In witnessing the persecution and suffering of the Middle East’s Christian communities, Israel is willing to posture itself as a defender of minorities suffering from extreme Islamism.

Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz confer in the Knesset. Learning of the events at the Druze village Jaramana, Netanyahu, together with Katz, declared: ‘We will not allow the extremist Islamist regime in Syria to harm the Druze; if the regime harms them, it will face consequences from us.'
