Jumblat says regional thaw won't affect presidential file
Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat has suggested that the re-establishment of ties between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and between Riyadh and Damascus, will have no impact on the Lebanese presidential file.
“I don’t see Lebanon in all of this,” Jumblat said in an interview with the L’Orient-Le Jour newspaper.
“The March 10 agreement is mainly about the conflict in Yemen. Unless there is a way out of this war, Saudi Arabia will not be able to implement its titanic projects,” said the PSP leader. “It is up to us to reach a consensus in order to break the deadlock,” he added.
Jumblat also reiterated that he remains “firm” in rejecting any confrontational presidential candidate.
