This study explores the securitization of Druze identity within the context of the Israeli–Syrian conflict and the transformations triggered by the Syrian civil war. It seeks to move beyond state-centered frameworks by emphasizing the role of cross-border communities in redefining security boundaries. The central question concerns how demographic shifts and displacements caused by the war have influenced the securitization of Druze identity in the Golan Heights, Jabal al-Arab and northern Israel, thereby reshaping the contours of social security. The research hypothesis posits that demographic changes are not inherently crisis-inducing; rather, they become threats when securitizing actors—including the Israeli and Syrian governments, alongside political and media agents—frame them within identity-based discourses of “us” and “other.” The article’s primary objective is to explain the mechanisms through which Druze identity is transformed into a strategic object of security policy. This aim contributes theoretically by enriching the literature on securitization and practically by offering insights into contemporary identity conflicts in the Middle East. The significance of the research arises from two dimensions: first, addressing the theoretical gap in regional security studies, which have largely remained state-centric and second, responding to the practical need to understand the consequences of securitizing dispersed minority identities in contexts where security boundaries increasingly align with identity lines. Methodologically, the study employs a qualitative, explanatory approach, drawing on documentary sources and comparative case studies to uncover the hidden layers of discourse and the representational dynamics of identity.
