With the onset of the Syrian Civil War , Jumblatt and the PSP moved towards an anti-Assad stance . Jumblatt has been crucial in negotiations regarding the Syrian Druze during the Syrian Civil War , and has stated about al-Nusra Front " I can not classify , like Western countries , Nusra as terrorist because most of Nusra are Syrians . The regime of Bashar obliged the Syrians to join Nusra " . After al-Nusra Front allegedly killed 20 Druze villagers in Qalb Loze on 10 June 2015 , Jumblatt responded that " Any inciting rhetoric will not be beneficial , and you should remember that Bashar Assad ’s policies pushed Syria into this chaos "
