🚨 UPDATE FROM THE SYRIAN BORDER WHERE I TRAVELED TO THIS WEEK 🚨
One of the most under reported atrocities happening in the world right now is the genocide of the Druze in Syria by Islamic jihadists. A lot of people missed this, but the State Department recently announced on October 27th that they are sending “life saving humanitarian assistance” to Druze, Christian and Bedouin communities in Southern Syria, but the State Department
@StateDept failed to address WHY that humanitarian aid on US taxpayer dime was needed to begin with.
The reason? They refuse to condemn Syria’s new ISIS President Abu Mohammed al-Julani, an Islamic terrorist who was wanted by the US Government for a bounty of $10 million until May of 2025 when he met with President Trump in Saudi Arabia.
I have been following this genocide closely, and this week, I flew to Israel and traveled all the way to the Syrian border with a camera and a translator. I had the profound honor of sitting down with the resilient mayor of Majdal Shams, Dolan Abu Saleh, in the heart of Israel's Golan Heights—a Druze stronghold on the border of Syria. I attempted to enter Syria and spent time developing a plan to cross the border legally to speak to persecuted religious minorities, but I was told it would be too risky given the presence of ISIS under Julani. I was also told by security and military officials that given my high profile political status, I would be a prime target for an ISIS kidnapping.
On the border, I had a soul-stirring conversation about the unimaginable horrors unfolding just miles away: the genocide against the Druze in Syria.
The Mayor and other members of the Druze community spoke to me with passion about the unbreakable bonds tying Druze from the Galilee to the Golan to the ravaged south and how we need the world to wake up and to not just condemn, but to act amid Julani’s brutality against non-Muslims in Syria.
Julani is scheduled to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House on November 10, despite the fact that Syrian government forces and allied jihadist militias under Julani’s command have slaughtered more than 3,000 Druze civilians in Suwayda province over the last couple months since Julani ousted Bashar al-Assad, the former President of Syria.
Eyewitness accounts and documented reports describe systematic executions: beheadings in public squares, the forced shaving of religious elders’ beards as an act of humiliation, kidnappings and brutal rapes of Druze women and children, and entire families thrown from rooftops by HTS loyalists and regime-backed Bedouin fighters.
The Trump White House’s embrace of Julani presents a moral crisis of epic proportions. The United States is preparing to shake hands in the Oval Office this week with a man whose forces are actively committing a religious genocide in Syria. How can the US consider labeling Julani as a partner *against* ISIS while he oversees the ethnic cleansing of the Druze, Christians and Alawites AS ISIS?
In a few hours, I will be releasing the video report I filmed this week on the border of Syria, and I will tell you the truth about what Julani is doing to innocent non-Muslims in Syria. You will see interviews from members of the Druze community whose family members have been killed, and are actively being displaced in Syria less than 10 miles away from where I conducted my interviews.
My hope is that my video report reaches President Trump
@POTUS and
@SecRubio before their meeting with Julani this Monday, and I hope they will strongly condemn Julani’s persecution of religious minorities from the White House. It’s important that the United States President condemns the Islamic persecution of Druze, Christians, & Alawites.
If US taxpayer dollars are going towards providing emergency & life-saving humanitarian aid in Syria, then the Trump administration must directly confront the ISIS perpetrator of the violence in Syria that has created a need for that humanitarian aid.
