It says in “Al-Qabas”:
The Lebanese Druze leader, Walid Jumblatt, highlighted to Al Qabas on the situation in Lebanon, after the failure of the French initiative, which was the only chance for rescue, after which Lebanon entered an insoluble political impasse, aggravating its crisis deepening economic-financial. Five months after the resignation of Prime Minister Hassan Diab, the political class failed in the formation of a new government, while the two parties interested in the composition, namely President Michel Aoun and Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri, continue sharing the responsibility for the obstruction.
Hariri is determined to continue his increasingly complex mission, while the determination to establish an opposition front against President Aoun, including Jumblatt, and the Christian political forces opposed to Aoun, began to grow. As for the “strong president” theory, Jumblatt considers it the greatest calamity for Lebanon and Christians.
Al-Qabas asked Jumblatt about the failure of the French initiative as the only bailout opportunity and that there does not appear to be any Arab and Western interest in Lebanon, as we have in previous periods. Jumblatt responded: “We have a responsibility at home not to be able to reach a government. What more can we expect from a French or non-French initiative if we fail to form a government? “I join the voice of the Maronite Patriarch Bechara Al-Rahi, who constantly calls on President Aoun and Sheikh Saad Hariri to return to dialogue.” Regarding what he meant by the word “our failure”, and whether it means an equitable distribution of responsibility for failure, Jumblatt explained, “No, definitely.” Finally, I called on the opposition team (the National Movement and Hezbollah) to form a government and take responsibility for the collapse alone. But Hariri may have another point of view. Today we are in a great dilemma ».
We use it as an axis
In response to a question about Lebanon losing its university roles, a hospital, a bank and a resort for the Middle East, old Lebanon has ended, and to which Lebanon Jumblatt aspires, the Druze leader replied: “We are in the process of a race against time. Whenever we delay in forming a government and in unifying a Lebanese vision to preserve the old Lebanon, Lebanon of education, diversity, free press and independent decision-making, we enter again to be used as a hub, as a missile base for the Islamic Republic of Iran, whose cultural and political vision differs from ours as Lebanese, and there is a segment of Lebanese who have their project. I don’t know if they understand the meaning of Greater Lebanon. ”
Regarding how to repair relations between Lebanon and the Gulf states, which have witnessed a significant decline in recent years, Jumblatt said: “Lebanon is a victim of the international conflict, or rather the conflict between the United States and the United States. Iran. We have paid a huge price for this fight. And some of the Gulf states are right to ask Lebanon to remain neutral. There are objective issues on the ground that say Lebanon cannot take sides. A large part of the Lebanese does not want to form alliances at the expense of Lebanon and its Arab relations, and in particular the Persian Gulf. But there is a different point of view among some, and the contradiction is great among the Lebanese on this issue.
Port explosion: ammonium nitrate for the Syrian regime
After the Beirut port explosion last August, Jumblatt was the first to suggest the Syrian regime’s relationship with the shipment of ammonium nitrate that exploded in the port, saying that this substance was brought by the Syrian regime to Beirut to be used in making barrel bombs against your opponents. Finally, a media report emerged about the involvement of Syrian businessmen close to President Bashar al-Assad in the ammonia shipment. In the same context, Jumblatt highlights “the culmination of the investigation with everyone, starting from the top of the pyramid, until the truth is fully revealed, without any political or apolitical calculation. This bombardment that destroyed the port of the Lebanese capital and changed its characteristics reveals other issues on its shores related to smuggling operations and the use of legitimate Lebanese ports and crossings as an outlet for the Syrian regime, this drains Lebanon and contributes to further collapse.
