The spiritual leader of the Druze community, Hikmat al-Hijri, said on Thursday that there is no agreement or consensus with the new Syrian government, stressing that this government is "extremist in every sense of the word."
Al-Hijri added that the recent migration of some young people to the government's side "is painful to us," noting that they are "selling out their families, their dignity, their history, and their blood."
Al-Hijri emphasized that the current phase requires decisiveness, saying, "We are in a phase of whether it is or is not," and that they are working in the interest of the community and emphasizing the need to preserve "the true national heritage."
He emphasized that the constants will remain and that this government cannot be tolerated, considering it a "demand for international justice."
Al-Hijri explained that their goal is to achieve justice and the rule of law at both the domestic and international levels, emphasizing that this is a legitimate right and that they will continue to strive for what is consistent with the priorities of the community and the interests of the country.
According to activists, al-Hajri's hostile rhetoric comes in response to the signing of a memorandum of understanding between prominent figures from Sweida and the Damascus government outlining the future of integration with the Syrian state.
