Jumblat fears 'unorganized' factions in south might drag Lebanon into all-out war
Former Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat has warned against the interference of some factions in the south, where Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging daily cross-border fire.
"I prefer for the war and peace decision to remain only in the hands of Hezbollah," Jubmlat said in an interview with LBCI, as he feared that some "unorganized" organizations might drag Lebanon into an all-out war against its will.
Jumblat added that French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna has warned caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati and Speaker Nabih Berri that nowhere will be safe in Lebanon, in case it entered the war with Israel.
"Mikati told me that no region would be spared, according to Colonna," Jumblat said.
