You were the first Druze minister in Israel.
00:04
What do you make of the integration agreement
00:08
and could accepting it be seen as declining Israel's support?
00:13
First of all, thank you for having me now.
00:16
I was the first Israeli, not only Druze, but Arab minister in the Israeli cabinet.
00:22
Then about what's happening in Syria, the situation is something else, you know.
00:28
All the world is watching what's happening in Syria,
00:31
and more the Druze and other minorities.
00:36
We had a bad experience, really, because Mr. Joulani, Mr. Rashara,
00:42
have been dominating the area of Idlib,
00:46
and 18 Druze villages have been demolished,
00:51
and young people and families run away
00:56
and flee to Turkey and to Europe,
00:59
because they are Druze, not something else.
01:02
The Druze in Syria have a history,
01:06
history for the independence of this state,
01:10
and they have a feeling belonging to this country.
01:15
So they have the right now to be suspicious.
01:19
We are watching.
01:22
Now in Israel, they are our brothers and our relatives, you know.
01:27
Druze are committed to their lands, to their country.
