Jumblat: Resistance Arms Essential to Fight Possible Israeli Aggression
In his weekly stance to PSP's al-Anbaa newspaper published Monday, Jumblat declared that "in the wait to reach the appropriate formula in the National Dialogue Table which allows the consequential possession of arms in official institutions, it is still essential to keep them to face any possible Israeli aggression in cooperation with the Lebanese army and other governmental institutions". Jumblat said that as long as Shebaa farms, Kfarshouba hills and the al-ghajar village are still occupied by Israel and as long as Israel makes up false pretexts "the resistance should remain".
"After the strenuous labor during the government formation, it is necessary to take important issues into consideration and not halt before matters that only hinder the long awaited governmental starting line," Jumblat said in his attempt to restrict the escalatory voices to the National Dialogue Table.

On this front, Jumblat brought the safety issue up by reminding all the Lebanese "to hold on to the international decisions especially the UN resolution 1701. That's why it is better not to participate in the biddings turmoil especially that the international community couldn't till now convince Israel of withdrawing from the Lebanese village of al-ghajar," Jumblat added.

Regarding privatization, Jumblat insisted that the government should stick to its social role by forming a ministry for the Palestinian refugees that takes care of their human and social affairs. "It has to be kept, however, from being manipulated by launching settlement slogans as part of cheap political strategies," he warned.

On the region, Jumblat emphasized on the important role that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its independence play amongst the Arabs. He voiced a bold dialogue request to take place between the Arab countries and Iran.
