Labib al-Nahhas, director of the Syrian Association for Citizens’ Dignity, says Israel’s claim that it is launching attacks on Syria to protect the Druze community is just a “false pretext” for a land grab.
“Their official narrative that they’re there to protect the Druze needs to be taken with a pinch of salt, because Druze themselves within Israel are considered second-class citizens. So that cannot be the genuine intention,” al-Nahhas told Al Jazeera.
