Good question that I don't know the answer to 100%. Dhimmi status came from Muslim caliphates which I think were united under a single belief until the schism over legitimate caliphates leading to the Sunni-Shia split. Almost certainly not for Wahabi. Alawites are a subset of Shia with some Christian beliefs included (tripartate god) but I don't know where they stand on Jews (likely negative because they're Syria based)

It makes me happy that a middle eastern expert is almost as fuzzy on the sects as I am.
