Report: Jumblat Travels after Instructions to Reject ‘Explosive’ Draft Policy Statement
Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat traveled on Saturday after instructing his representatives in the cabinet not to accept any “explosive” policy statement draft, the Kuwaiti al-Anbaa daily reported.
The newspaper said Monday it had no information about Jumblat’s destination.
The Druze chief instructed the ministers not to agree to a draft statement that “would lead to strife and confessional struggles that would change the country’s natural course,” al-Anbaa quoted sources close to him as saying.
The circles said that Jumblat accepts the clause on the international tribunal of the former cabinet’s policy statement.
“If the majority wasn’t able to control the situation and protect stability, then it would lose,” he reportedly told his ministers.
