A number of high-ranking members of the Druse community held a press conference on Sunday, calling on incoming Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to appoint a Druse minister in his cabinet.� Taking part in the press conference were a number of IDF brigadier-generals as well as high-ranking Israel Police officials, all members of the Druse community.
�It is time for equality. For 61 years the Druse community has sacrificed its finest sons in defense of the country. The time has come to respond appropriately. The Druse community plays a role in the future of the nation by earned right and not as a privilege� the media statement read.
