Jumblat on Occasion of Eid al-Fitr Salutes Hizbullah, Arab Spring Martyrs
Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat congratulated on Monday all officials, clergymen, and citizens on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr.
On this note, he saluted the families of resistance fighters whose sons were martyred in the July 2006 war.
He also saluted the Palestinian families whose sons were killed during Israel’s ongoing assaults on the Gaza Strip.
The MP made his position during his weekly editorial in the PSP-affiliated al-Anbaa magazine.
Jumblat also saluted the Lebanese and Palestinian families in need and those who have been displaced by the clashes between the Fatah al-Islam militant group and the Lebanese army at Nahr al-Bared in 2007, “especially considering that the aid funds that were dedicated to rebuilding the camp have been directed elsewhere.”
“We salute the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon who have not yet been given the fundamental human and civil rights that are required for them to live in dignity, all because of some Lebanese officials who believe that they are above this matter,” added the PSP leader.
On the Arab Spring, he said: “We extend our condolences to the families of martyrs who were looking forward to a better life based on freedom, dignity, and democracy.”
“We also salute the families of missing persons hoping that the fate of their sons would be revealed,” he added.
“We salute the families of all political prisoners in a hope that they would be immediately unconditionally released on the occasion of this holiday,” Jumblat stated.
