Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced a temporary pause to construction on a wind turbine project in the Golan Heights, following large protests by members of the Druze community. The Druze community has been protesting against the project, which they say will harm their way of life and the environment. Netanyahu spoke with Sheikh Muafak Tarif, the leader of the Israeli Druze community, and told him that construction will halt until after the Eid al-Adha holiday on Wednesday. The Druze community has also called for the annulment of laws that discriminate against them.
