Hariri, Jumblatt meet for first time in 19 months

Share:

Former Lebanese PM and Future Movement leader MP Saad Hariri discussed on Tuesday the latest local and regional developments with Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblatt in Paris, a statement issued by Hariri’s press office reported.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, An-Nahar Lebanese newspaper quoted a “well-informed” source as saying that the former prime minister and Jumblatt discussed the Syrian crisis and both agreed that the Syrian people’s demands were “rightful.”

Lebanon is sharply divided over the more than 17-month uprising against the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, whose supporters inside the country are led by the Shiite movement Hezbollah.

The source also said that the two men addressed the issue of Lebanon’s government, adding that the PSP leader feared the cabinet’s possible collapse would lead to a vacuum that will negatively affect the country’s security and stability.

“However, Hariri believes that the [current] cabinet was formed through extortion and that another [more] neutral government should be formed instead,” the source added.

According to the daily, Hariri, whose cabinet was toppled in January 2011, was not in a dispute with Jumblatt but only had a different opinion when it came to the Lebanese government.

Also, Jumblatt told As-Safir newspaper in remarks published Wednesday that the meeting with the former premier was “an occasion to meet with a friend I have not [seen] in a long time.”

He also denied reports that his sit-down with Hariri “was to prepare a coup against the current cabinet.”

  1. The title should read “A loser and criminal meet for first time in 19 month”. I bet they discussed ways of how to dislocate more Christians one by buying their land and the other by killing them. You both could go to hell.

      How can someone with dual citizenships was allowed to hold the office of prime minister without renouncing one or the other, I wonder where his loyality is?

      I agree, one is a sour loser and the other is a flaky senile….

        I think if you go back one ‘election’ you may find Hariri didn’t lose.
        One could be ‘sour’ about a weird government and set of rules that allow elections to be stolen, however.

           Actually, If you look at Iran, Syria and the Hezboobs, you’ll see a group WITHOUT Morality, character and/or integrity.  And they want to run the world!

          In politics there are a lot of wheelings and dealings, you win some and you lose some. He needs to grow up if he wants to be in the big league but my guess he will always be a small pawn.

          Check the rules of ‘Lebanon Confessional Parliamentary Democracy’ Persistent. Unique.
          If they had elected used-car salesmen, the wheeling and dealing would have been better for all.
          But wheeling and dealing are only one thing … first you need a viable system, and this one is a disaster for all the people, since no-one wanted to change and improve on it after it stopped the killing for a while. And it opened the door for the insanity which is ‘Syria now’ … ‘Lebanon then, and now’ … under the influence of wrong thinking. Two generations of it, at least – after the mess of the 70’s.
          You can see some of it here … and they won’t admit it.

       It really sounds like you’re talking about the Hezbians and their backers, what you say rings exactly true for the Irano-Syrioid axis as fronted BY the Hezbians.  Congratulations on your perception!

    From The Star:
    Asked if the meeting was a prelude to bringing down Mikati’s Cabinet, Fatfat said:
    “This Cabinet was established upon a regional, Syrian decision, and it will come down in the same manner.”
