Jumblatt: If no deal on STL , we’re going to hell

Share:

Progressive Socialist Party ( PSP) leader MP Walid Jumblatt warned that Lebanon is witnessing “systematic deterioration.

He made his remarks during an interview with As-Safir newspaper.

Jumblatt said he had dispatched Cabinet Minister Ghazi Aridi, a PSP member to meet with Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

He said Aridi conveyed a “positive message” from Nasrallah to Prime Minister Saad Hariri, but declined to disclose its contents. But according to As Safir Jumblatt sounded optimistic …. He said that his ‘attempts to bring Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Premier Saad Hariri together were fruitful.’

“We have reached a regrettable situation. Truly it is a strange situation; and the country is witnessing systematic deterioration with the political rhetoric that will have an impact on security, politics and lives of the people and their morale,” Jumblatt said.

“Many (people) are seriously wondering whether they should stay or leave” the country, Jumblatt said.

“We – Lebanese people and leaders — must come out with a unified position to face the indictment and prevent its destructive impact,” Jumblatt cautioned.

“Enough arrogance,” he urged. “We now need more than ever to confront fanaticism before it hits everyone and before it is too late.”

“We are all responsible for the country,” Jumblatt said , hailing Hariri for his September 6 remarks to As-Sharq al-Awsat newspaper in which he admitted he made a mistake in rushing to accuse Syria of involvement in his father’s assassination.

“It was a huge step toward safekeeping peace.” He said

But Jumblatt said the counter-attack was not justified at all.

” Sayyed’s attacks are unjustified at all,” the PSP leader said.

“Clearly, they have been caught in the trap, and we have already warned of being dragged into discord,” he added.

Jumblatt reiterated his call for an end to the political rhetoric which led to May 7.

He said there are certain parties within the majority March 14 alliance that “do not want ties with Syria or reach joint agreements.”

“And without a multiparty agreement on the Tribunal or the indictment, we’re going to hell,” Jumblatt concluded.

Tension between the Future Movement and Hezbollah ran high after armed Hezbollah bodyguards received former General Security chief Jamil as-Sayyed who is wanted by the Lebanese judiciary at the VIP launch of Beirut’s Rafik Hariri International Airport without the needed permission from the ministry of Foreign affairs .

Sayyed, who had just returned from France, was summoned by Attorney General Judge Said Mirza for questioning following the former’s September 12 statement, in which he attacked Hariri. Hezbollah on Friday called for the judiciary to revoke the summons.

Jumblatt also told As safir that Hariri’s September 6 interview with As-Sharq al-Awsat newspaper—in which the PM said some people misled the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) and ruined Lebanese-Syrian relations—was a huge step toward safekeeping peace.

  5. You must let the STL do its job!!!

    1. Fauzia my friend the Opposition do not want to see the STL do its job because obviously with the way they’re screaming and acting they’re guilty. Those who say that I am accusing them already and the STL has not issued its ruling. Well, why don’t they let the STL do its job and issue its ruling before jumping up and down then and threatening to harm everyone and telling everyone that will be dangerous if they come out with the rulings. So again they’re afraid they will be accused. Its very simple and clear and we all know that but they won’t admit to it. They acted over the weekend like criminals and thugs but protecting one of the who arrived to the airport like Prince instead of the villain? they have choked Beirut with their arms presence to remind everyone that we are here and we will not you have any say in any thing. Its those dangerous elements who are guilty as hell and they want to force their opinion on us. They want to rule the streets to remind us there is not gov’t and no laws and no rules but ours. This is the law of the jungle and hezbollah likes it that way. they want everyone to abide by the law except themselves. I pity them for they will bring not only their destructions. But the destruction of a nation its trying to rebuild itself from foreign controls and most recently Syrian controls. You can ask all you like for them to let the STL do its job, but why would they when they’re guilty? otherwise why are they behaving like this?

  9. Today’s Joumblat also mentioned is better to cancel the international court and criticized Geagea indirectly for mentioning his father name , which I agree Geagea didn’t need to mention Kamal Joumblat name for the fact that he died because he opposed the Syrian intervention to prevent Joumblat / PLO/ Mourabitou / and other the victory ( as Joumblat saw it at that time a victory) and in his book Joumblat wanted to have Kleiaat as open city and have the Christian leaders sign their surnending,Joumblatt the father is a similar personality to Aoun but balanced and can portray logic but deep inside he wanted to be president and he had a lot of Historic hate against the Maronite as his grand grandfather was hanged by the Wali of Dimashk in 1840 and he blames the Maronite for it.
    We need to look really at Walid Joumblat politics as I understand that he change his politics as nothing is stable in politics , but to turrn 360 and comeback as an opposer of the truth and the STL for the killing for all cedars martyrs can’t be understood other than pure cowardliness!!!.
    We could understand that he doesn’t want to open wounds about his father and accepted why the Syrian killed him , as there is no doubt about it , Kamal Joumblat in his book knew that and he stated that month before his killing in the book that the Baath Party in Syria met with Assad prior to his assassination and there was a compromise about the danger that Kamal Joumblat is posing to thr Baath regime by calling the Syrian to revolt against Assad and the system and the decison was taken to eliminate him., need to say that Joumblat was heading to India days before his assassination to saty undisclosed period of time and the Syrian got him before his departure .
    For Joumblat the son ,he accepted that his father died and he paid the price of his politics and turn the chapter, but for us Hariri is not Joumblat , also Ghassan Tueini and Samir Kassir, those are people with no blood on their hand ,Hariri was a business man and a politician and a builder and he made himself from scratch, he’s not coming from a Feudal family like Joumblatt and he’s the prime minister of all Lebanese and wasn’t planning to defeat anyone , that’s why we want the truth , it didnt matter for Joumblatt Kamal as many were relieved to his death and considered that Assad did a favor to Lebanon by getting rid of him.
    Joublatt family history is full of dangerous politics ,,Joumblatt figure and representation is not what the free Lebanese look at very highly , and it is not a leadership for all Lebanese , that’s why though the Joumblat’s are very important family politically and caused many political changes in the Lebanon old and new history for the good for the worst ( for the Druze Joumblatt are the best between all communities to take care of their own especially Walid Joumblatt did take care of his mountain pretty goo but he;s far more tribal than his father and require full allegiance to him from the Druze communities ) but can’t be count on as allies , as they are very small minority and their number shrinked drastically in the war due to the immigration ,they have to keep their head low to survive and that’s why Joumblatt did when the Iranian party attacked the Druze villages , he had to turn because also he can stand some attacks bu t they are not by any means a match to Iranian party .Joumblatt is out of the Free Lebanon equation until the circumstances change and he need to review his standing , but for now he’s the reason to weaken Hariri the son position to seek the truth and behind the Aoun rising after he was shrinking ( as Joumblatt doesn’t wan to see the Christians united ever) and now he is very close to open fire ferociously on Geagea but is not again to his interest to weaken the Lebanese forces too,AS we could see as Kamal Salibi state in his book about Lebanon , that it was written to this family to play a big role in the history of Lebanon since Amir Fakhredien brought the Joumblatt to Lebanon as originally the family originated from the what is called Kurdistan now and their name was Jon Bouled as per Kamal el Salibi
