Druze leader meets with IDF head, calls on soldiers to keep politics out of army
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAfter meeting with IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, Druze spiritual leader Sheikh Muafak Tarif releases a statement addressing members of his community currently completing their compulsory army service, amid protests from Druze soldiers over the recently passed nation-state law.
“Trust us, we will fight for you. We have no bone to pick with the army – you are soldiers and loyal commanders, and I trust you to leave yourselves and the IDF out of the public debate,” says Tarif.
