CWN Editor's Note: In an effort to assuage international concerns, Syria’s de facto leader, Abu Mohammad al-Julani, told the minority Druze community that “Syria must remain united, and there must be a social contract between the state and all religions to guarantee social justice.”
The Vatican newspaper, in its December 17 edition, devoted front-page coverage to al-Julani’s remarks, as well as to his call for the end of international sanctions against Syria and his statement that Syria will not be used as a base for attacks against Israel.
