Jumblat, Gemayel Hold ‘Important’ Talks on Major Controversial Issues
Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat and Phalange party chief Amin Gemayel have met over dinner in Bikfaya on Thursday night, An Nahar newspaper said.
The dinner banquet held for Jumblat came after Gemayel attended a similar dinner at Jumblat’s residence.
Sources following up their talks told An Nahar Saturday that the atmosphere of the latest meeting was “important.”
“There is an intersection in the point of view of both sides in the support for liberation movements in the Arab world without interference in the affairs of Arab countries, the backing of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, the continued calm in the south, the commitment to resolution 1701, the rejection of naturalization (of Palestinians) and the importance of dialogue,” the sources said.
“Jumblat appreciates Gemayel’s stances from the cabinet in return for an appreciation by the Phalange of the PSP ministers’ reservations on the word ‘in principle’ in the policy statement,” they added.
