Jumblat recommends commitment to Res. 1701, armistice agreement

Former Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat sees that Lebanon has entered an "open war" with Israel.

In a post published Monday on the X platform, Jumblat warned that the war with Israel might last for months or even more.

"After the repeated attacks on Lebanon by Israel, it seems that we have entered a long open war that may take months or more," Jumblat said, adding that he therefore recommends "as an observer", "containing the conflict, if possible," and solving the pending border problems.

"I recommend... commitment to the (United Nations Security Council) Resolution 1701 and to the (1949) armistice agreement in order to avoid any descent into the unknown," Jumblat said.
