Alawite leaders in Syria have urgently requested help from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, expressing their fears of ongoing violence by the new regime. They called for military assistance and diplomatic advocacy to protect their community, emphasizing their willingness to support Israel if intervention occurs.
Alawite leaders in Syria have urgently appealed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for assistance against what they describe as a brutal regime. In their message, they expressed hope for protection and support, assuring that they would greet Israeli forces with songs and flowers if they arrived on the Syrian coast, which is predominantly Alawite. This plea, obtained by i24NEWS, was also directed to other Israeli officials, including Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar.
This request for aid follows a series of violent incidents perpetrated by forces loyal to the new Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, particularly against Alawite communities. The letter emphasizes the silence of the international community, contrasting it with what they perceive as Israel’s willingness to intervene. The Alawite leaders noted that their community was traditionally loyal to former President Bashar al-Assad before his regime was overthrown.
In their letter, they detailed several specific requests, which include:
• The deployment of the Israel Defense Forces, including the Air Force, to safeguard the Alawite population.
• The mobilization of Israeli warships towards the Syrian coast.
• Advocacy by the Israeli Foreign Ministry to highlight the crimes against the Druze community on an international level.
• Increased media attention from Israeli outlets regarding the ongoing massacres in Syria.
The letter further appeals for solidarity against perceived extremism from Turkey, urging support to foster a separation from what they characterize as “Islamic arrogance.” It reflects the Alawite community’s dire situation and their hope for external intervention.
The Alawite leaders’ appeal underscores their desperation for protection amidst escalating violence in Syria. With their traditional support for the Assad regime now gone, they seek assistance from Israel, emphasizing potential cooperation in the face of shared minority status in the region. The outlined demands highlight their urgent need for military and diplomatic support, particularly in light of recent atrocities against their community.
