Jumblat Warns Arabs against War amid U.S.-Iran Tensions

Progressive Socialist Party leader ex-MP Walid Jumblat on Sunday warned Arabs against getting involved in a war in the region amid the escalating tensions between the United States and Iran.

“Amid this huge and scary confrontation between the U.S. and the Islamic Republic, and amid the Israeli incitement to warm, we hope no one in the Arab world will get involved, because war will only produce vast devastation,” Jumblat tweeted.

Separately, he hoped Lebanon’s state budget will be finalized as soon as possible and without political bickering in order to “avoid the worse.”
