Jumblat Holds Banquet for Old Allies, Stresses Importance of Funding STL
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat held a dinner banquet for his former allies, al-Liwaa newspaper reported on Thursday.
“Everyone attended the dinner banquet,” ex-PSP member Fouad al-Saad confirmed to the daily.
He said: “This is the normal situation that should’ve been; he (Jumblat) can’t abandon us, neither can we.”
What had happened in the past was bounded by certain “circumstances,” Saad told the daily, “he couldn’t have taken any other position, neither could we.”
Sources told the newspaper that the banquet was not aimed at setting the state for new ties between the MPs that disagreed with Jumblat’s stances and the Druze leader, but it is to confirm his centrist position next to President Michel Suleiman and the cabinet.
“He (Jumblat) will stress on his stances during an interview with al-Manar TV station on Friday night,” they said.
The sources said that Jumblat will “stress the importance of funding the Special Tribunal for Lebanon because Lebanon’s credibility is on the line.”
The STL accused four Hizbullah members of being involved in ex-Prime Minister Rafik Hariri’s murder in 2005, and had issued arrest warrants against them.

You guys have zero political knowlege. The fall of Assad is very soon. Jonblat played his cards right. He lead m14 before and if he wants to return he will lead it again. Do you not realize the may war of hizibalah was a clear msg to the safety of the Druze and a war in lebanon unless jomblat helps m8 reach parliament. Grow up with your silly responses.

We are living a false democracy in lebanon but in reality Hizbollah is controlling the country pointing their arms towards all lebanese people they send others to give orders (Aoun) or clown as somebody here in the panel calls him, so I think Jumblat knows how to manage this mafia situation jumping from one side to the other he is good at it ,but this not what the country needs.

Welcome back to M14 ya Jumblatt. When the court gets funded by Miquaiti the Hezz will pull out and start some problems. When the gov't falls a new one headed by M14 will return normalcy to the country.

I do not think he ever paid for a banquet. The guy is simply nuts and a scumbag to boot, I guess that makes him a normal politician in Lebanon.
