Ad-Diyar: Jumblat to Apologize From Assad on Air
Druze leader Walid Jumblat will reportedly offer an on-air apology to Syrian President Bashar Assad for comments he has made against him.
The daily Ad-Diyar on Sunday said Jumblat has decided to make a personal and clear apology as a "last-ditch shot" to mend relations with Syria.
It said Jumblat has chosen pan-Arab TV news network al-Jazeera to issue his apology.
Jumblat had admitted that no Lebanese political leader had gone too far in attacks against Assad, stressing that dialogue with Syria is inevitable.
"No one has gone way beyond the limits to assault Assad as much I did," Jumblat said in a June interview.
