Jumblat offered to help Aoun find alternative negotiation path, Abu Faour reveals
Former Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat has expressed his willingness to support President Joseph Aoun in developing a revised diplomatic strategy that protects national rights, MP Wael Abu Faour revealed.
Speaking to electronic newspaper al-Anbaa, Abu Faour disclosed that Jumblat had told President Aoun during a recent meeting in Baabda that he is ready to assist in crafting "an alternative negotiating approach that helps secure Lebanon's rights."
The initiative comes after Jumblat repeatedly voiced opposition to a framework agreement reached between Lebanon and Israel in June through direct negotiations.
The Druze leader has criticized the deal for bypassing the 1949 Armistice Agreement and risking state sovereignty.

I'd rather drown than take swimming lessons from Jumblat.

Mr. Jumblat offers President Joseph Aoun support in developing a revised diplomatic strategy that protects national rights. I hope that the first step will be to protect the national rights of the country by clearing it of the Iranian-controlled Hizballah terrorists.
The best help Joumblat can offer now is his silence.
Lebanon has been through a lot and the time is now for peace, leave the Iranian/Isrealis issue to the iranians and isrealis. Lebanon first.
