Jumblat Says His 'Patience' on Hizbullah is Running Out
Progressive Socialist Party chief Walid Jumblat has stressed that “the exit from the crisis with the Gulf begins by the sacking of Information Minister George Kordahi and then apologizing to the Gulf.”
“The Axis of Defiance forces are demanding that Saudi Arabia apologize to Lebanon. We’re the ones who should offer an official apology,” Jumblat said in an interview with MTV.
“Let Hizbullah allow us (to react). I have been very, very patient and I haven’t interfered in any debate, but tonight I’m obliged (to speak),” the PSP leader added, describing the fuel trucks that Hizbullah imported from Iran as “beggary.”
“The question is what do they want? What does Hizbullah want? They want to paralyze economic life and they have nearly reached this goal. They want to paralyze the port, instead of exiting the investigation’s whirlpool and rebuilding the port. Who benefits from the port’s paralysis? (The Israeli ports of) Asdod and Haifa!” Jumblat said, while also criticizing the Free Patriotic Movement.
He also accused Hizbullah of “ruining the lives” of the Lebanese who work in the Gulf in connection with the diplomatic crisis with Saudi Arabia.
