Jumblat Pessimistic over Developments in Syria
Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat expressed pessimism over developments in Syria, saying that the international evaluation of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s alleged reforms isn’t very optimistic.
High-ranking sources quoted Jumblat as saying: “I fear for Syria as a whole.”
Al-Liwaa newspaper reported that the Druze leader’s ties with Damascus and Hizbullah have reached a standstill.
The daily said that Jumblat’s latest stances are to neutralize the Druze from the conflict that is happening in Syria.
The sources quoted Jumblat as saying: “There’s no escape from reforms, and there’s no need to waste time and chance, this is gambling with Syria’s future.”
Meanwhile, al-Mustaqbal Movement sources denied to An Nahar newspaper the possibility of a meeting between former PM Saad Hariri and Jumblat in the near future.
However, the daily said that the PSP leader might visit Saudi Arabia and meet with Hariri there.
