The Daily Wire speaks to Fellowship President and Global CEO Yael Eckstein about our groundbreaking efforts to help the embattled Druze and Christian minorities in Syria:
The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ), the largest philanthropic organization operating in Israel, is stepping up to assist the Druze community in Syria, who are currently facing persecution, kidnappings, and massacres by Islamic militants.
Violence broke out in the Druze-majority region of Suwayda on July 13, after Bedouin tribes and militants claiming allegiance to Syria’s interim president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, launched attacks against the Druze community. Videos recorded by the attackers show the execution of civilians during the assault, including one of a 35-year-old American citizen, Hosam Saraya.
IFCJ has so far sent 1,500 boxes of food to Druze in Syria and sent medical equipment for a clinic inside Syria. The organization’s president and CEO, Yael Eckstein, told The Daily Wire that more aid is on the way.
“When we see our Druze and Christian brothers and sisters right over Israel’s border being targeted and killed, we have to do something to act,” Eckstein said. “Right now they are facing the very real threat of being wiped out from Syria if the free world does not do something to stop that.”
