BREAKING: The Greek Orthodox leadership in Suwayda, Syria, has issued an urgent statement as Druze and Christians are brutally slaughtered by Islamists. The ongoing war in Suwayda Governorate is a war of annihilation, killing both young and old. I hope this cry reaches the whole world.”Local reports indicate escalating sectarian violence in Suwayda, a predominantly Druze region in southern Syria. The Archdiocese’s plea follows similar calls from Druze spiritual leader Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri, who labeled the violence a “genocidal campaign” against the Druze.
