Jumblat Criticizes Nasrallah”s Attack on Egypt
Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat on Tuesday criticized verbal attacks targeting Egypt and other Arab states and called for focusing on uniting Palestinian factions to confront the Israeli aggression on Gaza.
Jumblat, in a television interview, ruled out the possibility of "escalation from Lebanon (in line with the Gaza confrontation)."
"What would such escalation from liberated south Lebanon produce at a time the Syria regime makes no moves although Israel occupies its lands. They negotiate with Israel, instead," Jumblat noted.
He urged the "international community and the U.N. Security Council to exert pressure on Israel to halt its barbaric aggression on Gaza."
Jumblat said the settlement is available in adopting the Arab peace initiative that leads to the creation of a "viable Palestinian state."
The ongoing violence in Gaza, according to Jumblat, would only result in "more terror."
