Israel likes these Muslims, can fight for them, but they considered traitors in Islam because...
Druze Community: Most of Israel's enemies are Muslim countries not from today but from decades. But the country loves a branch of Muslims that are hated by others. They live in Israel comfortably and their population in the country is approx 1.3 lakh. However, Arab countries call them heretics and non-Muslims. Tel Aviv considers Druze trustworthy, it even fight for them and the example for it was air strikes in Syria. Druze basically emerged from the Ismaili branch of Shia Muslims. Now they are considered a separate religion by other Muslims. In years, Druze have created their own separate identity. Lets know more about them. Why Do Israeli Jews And Druze Share Special Bonding?
A special relationship is seen between the Israeli Jewish community and the Druze. Wherever the Druze live in the Middle East, they have a sense of friendship with the Jews. This relationship is based on historical, political and social factors. However, the Druze and Judaism religions are completely different. Did The Druze Help The Jews Create Their Own State?
The Druze are Arabic-speaking citizens of Israel but don't consider themselves Arabs. They practice a separate religious and national identity. In the year 1948, the Druze community stood with Jewish people during the founding of Israel, while most Arab Muslim communities strongly opposed it.

"Did Not Support Recent Israeli Strikes On Syria": US State Department
Washington: The United States did not support recent Israeli strikes on Syria, the State Department said on Thursday, adding that Washington made clear its displeasure after tensions escalated and worked quickly to stop it. On Wednesday, Israel launched airstrikes in Damascus, while also hitting government forces in the south, demanding they withdraw and saying Israel aimed to protect Syrian Druze - part of a small but influential minority that also has followers in Lebanon and Israel. "Regarding Israel's intervention and activity ... the United States did not support recent Israeli strikes," State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce told reporters at a regular news briefing. "We are engaging diplomatically with Israel and Syria at the highest levels, both to address the present crisis and reach a lasting agreement between the two sovereign states." Bruce declined to say whether Washington supports Israel carrying out such military operations when it deems necessary. "I won't speak to future conversations or past ones. What we're dealing with now is this particular episode, what was required, and I think we've been very clear about our displeasure, certainly that the President has, and we've worked very quickly to have it stopped," she said. She added that the United States condemns violence in Syria and said Washington was actively engaging all constituencies in Syria to navigate toward calm and continued discussions on integration and called on the Syrian government to lead the path forward.

'No space for racists, Islamophobes': Malaysians protest against Trump's US envoy pick
KUALA LUMPUR: Dozens of Malaysians protested near the US embassy in the capital on Friday, calling for President Donald Trump's nomination as envoy to the Southeast Asian nation to be rejected. Trump nominated right-wing commentator Nick Adams, known for his outspoken views and strong pro-Israel stance, as ambassador to multicultural, Muslim-majority Malaysia a week ago. Protesters chanted "Reject Nick Adams" and "Destroy America" and held up posters depicting Adams with a red cross over his face. Other placards read: "No space for racists and Islamophobes in Malaysia." The marchers, organised by the youth wings of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's Pakatan Harapan (Alliance of Hope) coalition, submitted a memorandum to the embassy near the centre of Kuala Lumpur. They urged the US government to withdraw Adams's nomination and "consider a candidate who is more professional, moderate, and attuned to the importance of Southeast Asia's regional stability." Around 90 police officers watched the peaceful demonstration and redirected traffic. Adams, 40, was born in Australia and is a naturalised US citizen. "Single. Alpha Male. Wildly Successful. Built like a Greek God. President Trump's favourite author," he had described himself on X. Adams has also said on X that "if you stand with Palestine you stand with radical Islamic terrorists and Jew hatred." Malaysia has no diplomatic ties with Israel and has repeatedly condemned its actions in Gaza and elsewhere.
