Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 July 2025

Debate

Syria: Druze Community

Contribution

My Lords, I thank the Minister, and I know how much she has been personally engaged in the region, particularly on the humanitarian elements of the ongoing and wider conflict. That is where I wish to focus my supplementary question. What assessment has she made of the impact on the minority communities specifically in the areas that I know she is looking at very closely, not just in Syria but across the region? This morning, we have heard of further escalations in southern Syria by Israel. This, of course, impacts those who are most vulnerable: women, children and minorities. I seek the Minister’s reassurance that that is a specific focus and priority for His Majesty’s Government.
