US Ambassador to Türkiye Tom Barrack has criticized a prominent Druze leader in southern Syria, accusing him of exploiting the perception of Israeli backing and US support to persecute other members of the community. Barrack, in an interview with commentator Mario Nawfal, stated that his concern was not Israel, but a particular Druze sheikh who uses perceived Israeli backing and alignment with Washington to persecute other Druze. The sheikh, believed to be Hikmat al-Hijri, opposes Damascus's authority and advocates for independence from Syria.
