Regardless of the results of the US elections, which Jumblatt said he was not interested in, Hezbollah’s weapons would remain and the agreement between the United States and Iran would not result in the disarmament of this weapon. Rather, Hezbollah could be given the role of policeman in Lebanon in exchange for restricting and controlling its weapons.
Likewise, participation in the next Lebanese government, if formed, will only take place from the door of “Hezbollah”, which has in its hand, as was evident with Mustafa Adib, the key to formation or delay.
Whatever the form of the next government, Hezbollah has the last word, and Jumblatt admitted in his interview that the party currently rules Lebanon.
For the sake of this approach, Walid Jumblatt took responsibility for May 7, claiming that there were those who had motivated him to take this step and expressed their remorse for his adventure. In your admission, this act of innocence by Hezbollah and a justification for its response, did it come on May 7 as a spontaneous reaction to the government’s decision at that time regarding Hezbollah’s “communications network”? Was the objective of May 7 to protect this network? How many days or months was this glorious day planned?
Nobody knows, nobody has investigated what happened and, like everything in Lebanon, the facts are left to interpretation and those who want to satisfy their interests exploit them. On Monday night, Walid Jumblatt’s interest was that Hezbollah was right. May 7 was a glorious day!
Jumblatt also announced that his only ally in politics is President Nabih Berri, excluding all those who stood by his side since 2005 and fought together for the International Tribunal and then in the aftermath of the victory of the Syrian revolution, hinting that all this happened in a moment of abandonment, but rather in its rightful place. It is the Arab site and is neutral in internal disputes.
The man who bravely stood up to Bashar al-Assad and Iran on many arenas is now claiming neutrality in the “game of nations” that he considered greater than himself. Is the country going through moments of abandonment, excessive enthusiasm and intense feelings? Or through fixed principles and national interests?
Walid Jumblatt also took Hezbollah’s position on the uprising that started on October 17, 2019, saying that it was not a revolution and that it was against the slogan “everyone means everyone.” The man who said in one of his interviews that he is corrupt, like all the politicians in the country, and that people should get rid of them, and in the eighties, during the civil war, he said: “We are all war criminals and we must judge us “. He no longer liked the slogan “everyone means everyone”, and the popular uprising became for him an act of sabotage.
Jumblatt’s words did not attract any of the activists on social networks, neither among Hezbollah nor others, all had objections to his statements, especially to the Hezbollah crowd, who considered that his admission of responsibility for the events of May 7 it required investigation and trial.
