The solution is the dialogue …

The former president of the Progressive Socialist Party, Walid Jumblatt, said that “it cannot be imposed on Lebanon,” considering that “the solution is the dialogue to persuade Hizbullah on its weapon.”

In an interview with the newspaper “Lorian Le Gore”, Jumblatt said: “What was presented to us is the Israeli dictation, as follows: They removed the weapon of Hezbollah and then we will see how we persuade the Israelis to withdraw, but the reality is that Israel has strengthened its positions in the south. However, I repeat that Hizbullah fighters are part of the Lebanese fabric, although their reference is the jurisdiction of the jurist, while others return to the reference.”

He added: “During the meeting with the American delegation, I also indicated that a large part of the disarmament process may be achieved south of the Litani. But the Lebanese army must be strengthened at the level of its many equipment, its equipment and the salaries of its members, especially since the army leadership, and because of the crisis, allowed the military to practice an additional part -time work, which is not useful for the military establishment. Internal security and the need to support it, this army may help to devote himself to other tasks, such as the demarcation of the border with Syria, starting from the Shebaa Farms to combat smuggling to the maritime border.

He continued: “Also, I dealt with the issue of the banking sector, and we are with the recommendations of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. But there in Parliament and in the United States a group of influential Lebanese who refuse to prejudice the banking sector. I think clear positions on American officials may be silent.”

He continued: “We cannot be submitted to surrender. I present my thoughts for a natural return in conditions for the preservation of dignity. We want to liberate the lands. Hill and the application of international decisions. I do not understand this insistence that does not take into account the political sensitivities of the Shiite community. Focusing on the weapon will not be accepted from a large part of this sect. The solution is the dialogue to persuade Halzia, because the Secretary -General Naim Qasim is a right when he is considered to be The party’s weapon is the spirit of its supporters. ”

He said: “If we adopt the appropriate measures and a smart way for dialogue and we refuse the Israeli and Iranian dictates, a result can be reached. As for the violent method and military confrontation, they will not lead to anything. The important thing is that the Israeli withdrawal is in parallel with any process of removing the weapon. As for the army, it will not witness an internal division, but we must avoid repeating the experience of using the institution against people. The Shiite community is more intelligent.

He continued: “I think Berri is very concerned with the return of matters to normal. We do not forget that what he did in the south was destroyed during the 2024 war. However, the Maqa was necessary in its time because of the day of the day. Obcenity and Israeli attacks. But I am not afraid to repeat May 7.”

On the events of the Syrian Sweida, Jumblatt said: “In my opinion, the endosperm is an integral part of the Syrian homeland. Since the beginning of the recent events, I called for the formation of an investigation committee. With the Americans, I demanded a Syrian -international investigation committee to consider what happened. There is a crime committed against the Druze along with widespread displacement and violence against the Bedouins. An investigation must be opened by opening roads between Damascus and As -Suwayda. This is the responsibility of the Syrian state, but also to accept that. So far, some voices within the sect rejects this step. After investigation and accountability, the file of the detainees and the missing from both sides must work to reach a reconciliation, as happened in 2001 in the mountain between the Druze and Christians.
He concluded: “Lebanon has a historical opportunity, especially since Sharia has clearly said: The Syrian regime is no longer in the orbit of Iran. There is an independent Syria for the first time in more than fifty years. This is a great opportunity for Lebanon that should not be missed.”
