The Western Journal: As Syria Falls, Druze Communities Beg Israel to Be Annexed
Druze communities in the Syrian Golan Heights are urging Israel to annex their towns due to fears of persecution amid instability in Syria. Residents of Hader express a preference for annexation to escape potential violence from rebel groups, emphasizing their desire for safety and justice.
The Druze, historically loyal to the Assad regime, have remained largely uninvolved in the Syrian conflict. With the regime's decline, some Druze leaders see annexation as a means of protection from a new government they fear, while Israel balances its commitment to the Druze community against regional threats.

President-elect Donald Trump has raised concerns about an increase in drone sightings across the U.S., suggesting they pose a national security threat. The lack of effective measures to intercept these drones, many of which are linked to drug cartels or potential espionage, highlights vulnerabilities in U.S. airspace defense.
To address this issue, Trump’s incoming Cabinet must prioritize a comprehensive counter-drone strategy. Current regulations limit military action against drones, and there is a pressing need for coordinated surveillance and command authority to tackle the escalating drone problem effectively.
