Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat on Tuesday held talks with former prime minister Saad Hariri at the latter's residence in the French capital Paris, Hariri's office announced.

The two leaders “discussed the regional situation in all its aspects and the challenges Lebanon is facing,” according to a statement issued by Hariri's office.

Jumblat and Hariri “stressed the need to preserve the Taef constitution and religious coexistence in Lebanon which provide protection for national unity and stability in the face of these challenges.”

They also discussed “the various proposals on the electoral law and the stances of all parties and agreed to continue consultations over this issue in a manner that serves the interests of Lebanon and the Lebanese.”

Jumblat discussed with French President Francois Hollande on Monday “the importance of preserving stability in Lebanon and safeguarding the country from Syria's conflict.”

Hariri met with Phalange Party leader Amin Gemayel on Monday. “Efforts are currently being exerted to achieve true partnership while preserving the March 14 (alliance) and the national interest,” Gemayel told An Nahar daily in remarks published on Tuesday.

Yallah bring out the broom and sweep the scums of the world (HA/Assad/Iran) off the planet once & for all. FSA started the move and with God's help...clean house all around once & for all! No room for regressed religious tyrants/terrorists on this planet!

Coexistence means the Christians' friends in the US, UK, and France will blow up Lebanon if Christians are ejected from their seats of privilege. I don't think those friends are going to follow through this time. Slavery is an embarrassment to the modern European mind. Can the Gulf monarchies fill the ensuing gap?
Want ad in Gulf Newspaper: wanted, European mercenaries to run Lebanon until stability returns under a Hariri-Christian coalition. Must speak fluent Arabic but hate Arabs. Technical skills a plus but not essential. If things go south, don't call us, we'll call you.

The kind of Meeting we'd like to see more often. Everyone should meet... Even With Aoun. With a few exceptions, no one should talk to the Nasrallah mass murderer still in activity or the other Christian yet Syrian agent in Lebanon (can't recall his name right now)....

Why does Saad Hariri deserve to be called "Sheikh"? Does anyone who inherits a lot of money and position of power automatically get this title??
