Jumblat Slams Nasrallah, Considers Latest Speech as Tense
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat criticized on Wednesday Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's latest speech, describing it as “tense and biased.”
“I noticed that the Islamic Republic of Iran didn't comment (on the developments in Yemen) like Nasrallah did,” Jumblat said in comments published in As Safir newspaper.
He considered that the Hizbullah chief was “biased and tense.”
“I don't understand why Hizbullah would go beyond Iran,” Jumblat wondered, stressing that he “will not use the word Persian anymore and replace it with the Islamic Iran as it might provoke the resistance.”
The Hizbullah chief unleashed a tirade against Saudi Arabia after the offensive over its intervention in Yemen, calling it "surprising and painful," and suggesting Riyadh would suffer a "humiliating defeat" if it didn't resolve the conflict through negotiations.
A Saudi-led coalition began bombing Yemen last week, saying it was targeting the Shiite Huthi rebels and their allies. The March 14 alliance backed the Saudi campaign.
Jumblat told the daily that “Hizbullah's objection to (Prime Minister Tammam) Salam's speech at the Arab Summit is not justified,” describing it as “balanced,” wondering what is required from the premier to do other than that.
Jumblat played down in remarks to An Nahar daily the impact of the developments on the government, saying: “Things are heading towards a settlement.”
The Druze chief described Salam as a “wise man.”
On Monday, Hizbullah Industry Minister Hussein al-Hajj Hassan slammed Salam's stances at the Arab summit, pointing out that the PM's remarks do not reflect the viewpoint of all Lebanese.
“We will raise this issue in the next cabinet session,” the minister announced.
Addressing the Arab League summit held in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh on Saturday night, Salam said Lebanon supported any decision to preserve the territorial integrity of Yemen, reiterating the country's commitment to the dissociation policy and called for distancing Lebanon from the region's conflicts.
The two-day summit ended Sunday with a vow to defeat Iranian-backed rebels in Yemen and the formal unveiling of plans to form a joint Arab intervention force.

Dear @geha:
don't be so sure. These criminals will stop at nothing to keep their tight control of Lebanon. It is too late for Lebanon and should have been done prior to May7th. In Yemen, hopefully the iranians can and will be stopped.

no no there is so much popular support for them these days. Lebanese public opinion has changed completely: 95% of Christians, 95% of Sunnis, and 95% of Druze now support mowaten and flamethrower.
