Jumblat Says His 'Patience' on Hizbullah is Running Out

W460

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.

Beware of politicians! They won't hesitate to make a deal with Hizb as they did many times before if it serves their interest even if they know their Faustian deal is a fatal flaw to Lebanon's sovereignty and will destroy any prospect for a free democratic and prosperous Lebanon. Unless Hizb is disarmed, nothing else will benefit Lebanon. With Hizb arms, no sovereignty, no peace, no domestic or foreign investment, worthless Lira, crazy interests if loans at all possible, no possibility for rebuilding, a total failed state. Only one solution for Lebanon future: disarm Hizb and bring all traitors and corrupts to justice and watch the phoenix take off. Anything else is a waste of time leading to Lebanon's requiem.

I have been saying for a long time, that this notion of disarming Hizbos that politicians talk about will not happen. The only way to get rid of them is by bringing the down the regime in Tehran. Nothing else will do. Donald trump love him or hate him had the Mullah on their knees with crippling economic sanction, but the Lebanese and their love of the Frenchies and Macron screwed all that up by him cozying up to the Mullahs for Frech business interests.

Not just the French, but more broadly European and US democrats are eyeing the Persian candy.

Our patience with you and the rest of the corrupt and incompetent political class has run out a long time ago.

I am sure wafiq safa called him afterwards and asked him not to threaten anyone.

This criminal was behind the 14 March split. He cannot be trusted.
