Geagea, Jumblat Reject Terrorism after Killing of Druze Villagers in Syria
Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea and Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat have rejected terrorist activities and announced their support for stability, Geagea's press office announced on Friday
Geagea and his wife MP Sethrida visited Jumblat in Clemenceau on Thursday night, said the statement.
The PSP leader's wife Noura, his son Taymour and daughter Dalia attended the meeting in addition to Health Minister Wael Abou Faour, his wife Zeina and MP Nehme Tohme, it said.
The conferees discussed “the political situation in Lebanon and the region and mainly the massacre of Qalb Lawzah in Idlib province in Syria,” said the statement.
They stressed “their rejection of these terrorist activities and their keenness on stability and coexistence whether in Syria or Lebanon,” it added.
After the meeting, Jumblat threw a dinner banquet in honor of his guests.
Al-Qaida's affiliate in Syria al-Nusra Front killed at least 20 Druze villagers in Qalb Lawzah on Wednesday.
The killings are the deadliest against the Druze sect, which has been split between supporters and opponents of President Bashar Assad since Syria's crisis began in March 2011.
