I will Take Part in Majority Meeting in Show of Support for Hariri
Druze leader Walid Jumblat said he will take part in a Majority meeting to be held Monday in a show of support for Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri.
"The Democratic Gathering (bloc) and the Progressive Socialist Party will participate in the meeting in support for efforts by the premier-designate in forming a government based on consensus over a 15-10-5 Cabinet makeup," Jumblat said in remarks published by the daily An-Nahar on Monday.
Jumblat said the meeting will also emphasize commitment to Taef Accord and will stress that any inter-Arab rapprochement will have a "positive impact" on Lebanon.
"This is what we hope to continue to achieve in the next phase," he added.
Jumblat also cautioned that the PSP "won”t accept Lebanon to be used as an arena for negative pressure on any Arab-Arab rapprochement or to separate processes as part of a game played by external powers in the Middle East."
