We condemn the killing and kidnapping of Syrians from the Druze community, including women and children, by Daesh in Sweida, southern Syria, in July 2018. Officials in London and at our Embassy in Beirut have met with members with the Druze community to discuss the attacks. As a leading member of the Global Coalition against Daesh, we remain strongly committed to the defeat of Daesh and to justice for its victims.
