Druze mourners protest Israeli ministers' presence at funeral after Golan attack (Anadolu Agency, 2024-07-28)

"... Footage aired by Israeli media showed mourners protesting the presence of Israeli ministers, including far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, at the funeral."

"Environment Protection Minister Idit Silman, Economy Minister Nir Barkat and Energy Minister Eli Cohen..."

"According to the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth, the #Druze Authorities Forum sent a letter to Israeli government ministers requesting them not to attend the funeral.

"'Do not come. Given the sensitivity of the situation, we ask not to turn this massacre into a political event. We demand a quiet religious funeral according to Druze customs,' read the letter."

Despite that.
