Golan Druze adoption of Israeli citizenship surges
Times of Israel reported that roughly one in five Golan Druze held Israeli citizenship, about 6,000 of more than 29,000 residents, while later Globes reporting put the share above 35%, with most new citizens under age 30. Both sources described citizenship applications as reaching historic highs against the backdrop of war and uncertainty in Syria after the fall of the Assad regime.
