Representative Bilal Abdullah responded to what Representative Salim Al-Sayegh wrote on the “X” platform regarding the framework agreement and the return of the displaced to the Mountain region, stressing that political disagreement should not turn into a means of intimidating the Lebanese against each other.
Abdullah said in a post on “X”: “There is a huge difference, my colleague Salim, between embracing the family with national and humanitarian conviction, and intimidating the Lebanese against each other.”
He added: “Political difference and differentiation in choices must remain under the same roof of living.”
He stressed that the forces participating in the government are committed to the decision to extend state sovereignty over the entire Lebanese territory, noting that “the southern people are tied to their land, and they have returned.”
Abdullah’s response came to a post by Representative Salim Al-Sayegh, in which he considered that the positions of the former head of the Progressive Socialist Party, Walid Jumblatt, regarding the framework agreement were due, as he put it, to “his demographic fear, as the number of displaced people in the mountains exceeds the number of Druze.”
This debate comes in light of the continuing political debate about the repercussions of the framework agreement, and the issue of the return of people to the border areas, in addition to the ongoing debate regarding the future of the security and political situation in Lebanon, where the positions of the political forces differ regarding the priorities of this stage and the mechanisms for dealing with sensitive national files, with most parties stressing the importance of maintaining internal stability and coexistence.
