Jumblat Renews Call for Pacifying Lebanon to Safeguard Stability
Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat called for pacifying Lebanon regarding regional and international conflicts to safeguard the nation”s unity and stability.
Jumblat made his stand in an article to be published Tuesday by the PSP”s weekly al-Anbaa.
Such a target of pacifying Lebanon "starts with the launching of national dialogue through which Lebanon”s policies could be defined," Jumblat wrote.
"Lebanon has paid a dear price for over four decades … as a result of foreign interventions and regional aggressions. It is time for us to agree on common denominators and provide the Lebanese people with the stability they seek," he added.
Jumblat praised as "important" the recent visit to Beirut by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas for stressing that the state is in charge of all issues related to Palestinian refugees in Lebanon.
