Geagea meets Jumblat in Clemenceau
Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea, who rarely leaves his Maarab headquarters, on Wednesday held a meeting in Clemenceau with Druze leader Walid Jumblat.
The National News Agency said the meeting tackled the latest political developments in Lebanon and the region and was attended by MP Melhem Riachi of the LF and MP Wael Abu Faour of Jumblat’s Democratic Gathering.
“It was a fruitful and beneficial session in all respects,” Geagea said after the meeting.
“May God bring welfare, especially in this stage that the country has reached,” Geagea added.
The visit comes after the sectarian massacres in the Druze-majority Syrian province of Sweida and in the wake of U.S. envoy Tom Barrack’s visit to Lebanon.

The drama in the Middle East is not about Israel. That matter has been settled, which is why Israel attacked the Syrian defense ministry last week: it is going crazy. What is in play now is the fate the Gulf monarchies. Occasionally you see a spark of journalism on Al Jazeera: not at the moment. Every monarch relies on a cadre of assistants: the bourgeoisie: "castle-dwellers". "The bourgeoisie believe that reality is scripted, said an announced on the BBC World Service way, way back (remember when?). The market is taking over the world. Castles are obsolete. Lebanon is a good case to study this. Its parliament, with its mandatory 50% Christian membership, is devoted to doing nothing. It's not just the Christians, as the MEMRI report reminds us. Talk it over with your friends, if you dare.

Mysterious things sometime happen on the internet, but clear writing still matters: should be "the fate of the Gulf monarchies".
