The Israeli government has approved a five-year plan worth NIS 3.9 billion ($1.1 billion) to address housing and planning issues faced by the Druze and Circassian minorities in northern Israel. The plan aims to provide practical solutions and improve the lives of the younger generation and members of the security forces. Additionally, Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that Syrian Druze would soon be allowed to enter Israel for work. The Druze community in Israel has a long history of loyalty to the state and has made significant contributions to various sectors, including high tech and education.
