Jumblat Neither in Nor Out of March 14
Mustaqbal Movement MP Samir Jisr said Thursday that Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat was "neither in nor out" of the majority March 14 coalition.
"If you examine what he (Jumblat) said on Sunday, you will fully know that he did not say he was walking out of March 14," Jisr said in an interview with the Voice of Lebanon radio station.
"Jumblat himself says he is halfway in; and that practically he is neither in nor out of March 14 forces," Jisr said.
He confirmed that there is convergence among March 14 forces on discussing this issue with the Druze leader.
"We didn”t severe contacts with Jumblat. A meeting among leaders of March 14 will be held and we will be listening attentively to Walid Bek," he said. Jisr did not say when the meeting would take place.
On Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri, Jisr stressed that Hariri "won”t back down on his mission to form a Cabinet."
"He (Hariri) didn”t seclude himself and he will return to Lebanon before week”s end," he said.
