The Druze of southern Syria have publicly declared their desire to secede from Syria and be annexed to Israel. Based on topography this is what the annexation would look like. The IDF has already taken over the DMZ in yellow and moved into some of the Druze towns.

A video has been released of the representatives of the Druze villages gathering on the border with Israel saying:

“Where is our fate? Israel!”

“We ask to be annexed to the Israeli Golan to preserve our dignity.”

This deceleration comes just days after @IsraelWarRoom reported that Netanyahu met with the leader of the Druze community in Israel (who have close kinship ties with the Syrian Druze).

From a broader perspective, this would bring Israel’s border just 25 km (15.5 miles) from Damascus.

The Druze live in a mountainous region, so it is conceivable to see their territory as a defensible front line in the face of whatever regime comes to power in Syria.

If they were to be annexed to Israel, a majority of the world’s Druze would be living in Israel.

The State of Israel would become the de facto Druze homeland 70 some years after doing the same for the Jewish people.

The Druze historically supported Assad and are technically not Muslim.

Annexing to Israel is a drastic measure, one they would only take if they feared possible genocide. They have good reason to be very afraid of the Islamist rebels taking over Damascus.

As to Turkey’s actions in Syria, the Turks have been brutally cracking down on the Kurds in northern Syria. The Druze don’t want to be next.
