Jumblat Urges Some Political Sides to Commit 'Mass Suicide' to Relieve Citizens from Futile Disputes

Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat stated that the efforts to form a new government in Lebanon “have reached a dead end.”

He told al-Liwa newspaper in remarks published on Thursday: “The dead end has been caused by the futile demands made by some members of the new majority.”

“Ending the current crisis requires some of sides of the opposition and new majority to commit serious mass suicide,” he said.

He explained that the suicide would be “the sacrifice of the self for the sake of the masses.”

The central principles of government in Lebanon that should be kept away from political disputes include maintaining and protecting the Resistance’s arms in the confrontation with Israel, the MP stressed.

The arms should not be used on the internal scene, he added.

Jumblat emphasized the importance of dialogue in ending disputes in Lebanon, saying: “The formation of a new government and return to dialogue are a priority because all sides have reached a dead end.”

Furthermore, he warned the “new and old majorities” of the dangerousness of maintaining the current situation in Lebanon.
