"I commend the Druze Veterans Association (DVA) on its important activities. We should all continue to empower the soldiers of the community after their release from the IDF. The efforts of the DVA are significant in promoting the success of the Druze veterans and, by doing so, contribute to the prosperity of the Druze community as an integral part of Israeli society."

“Reverence my friends is not enough. Druze men and especially Druze women are greatly underrepresented in the modern professions. There is an urgent need for increases in the number of Druze attending and graduating university and earning advanced degrees. There is a pressing need to integrate young Israeli-Druze into the high-tech sector – Israel’s most dynamic industry. There is a need to invest more in infrastructure and community services in Druze villages and in Druze neighborhoods. I commend Koftan and the Druze Veterans Association for creating the Israeli-Druze Technology and Economic Empowerment Center and encourage all to support it together with me. Let us all make a vow. Let us pledge to make Israel’s covenant with the Druze people stronger, deeper and more meaningful. Let’s make it a covenant not only of blood, but of caring, of dignity, and yes, of love.”

"...the alliance between the Jews and Druze of Israel cannot be summed up by serving together in the security services, in the military, with the sacrifice of our sons. It is and must be an alliance that is first and foremost a covenant of life. I salute the Druze Veterans on 70 years of service to Israel in full equality. The Israeli-Druze Veterans High-Tech Empowerment Center will further this goal of full integration and opportunity for all..."

"The DVA's mission to empower and provide opportunities to IDF veterans of the Druze community is ensuring a better future for the Druze people and of course, the State of Israel. We are bound together, the Jewish and Druze people. It is an unshakable bond, invaluable to Israel’s security and Israel society."

"I am proud of how the Druze community contributes to the IDF and to the State's security forces as soldiers and officers and I salute them for it. The Druze people can reach groundbreaking achievements in any realm, including science and technology. I trust that upon retirement from security services the Druze Vets will help the community realize its dream and potential."

“The Druze Veterans Association act to establish and operate a technological institute for the empowerment of young people from the Druze community is the practical application of the Bank of Israel’s recommendations regarding contribution to the future growth of the economy. Maximizing the potential human capital of the entire population in Israel is the key to increasing long-term productivity and growth in a way that encompasses all of Israel’s citizens. The Druze community’s special contribution to the State of Israel is very significant, and the successful integration of young people from the community in the labor market is a natural step that will benefit not only the community, but also the entire Israeli economy.
