  • As global powers propose a 21-day ceasefire to curb the escalating conflict between Israel and Lebanon, Lebanese political leader Walid Jumblatt voiced support for revisiting the 1949 Armistice Agreement in an interview with Hadley Gamble on Al Arabiya News, but insisted normalization despite Israeli bombardments is not the answer. The discussion follows two days of intense Israeli bombings which have claimed over 600 Lebanese lives.
    The interview, set against the backdrop of the new ceasefire initiative led by the US and France, highlighted Jumblatt’s critical view of US diplomatic efforts to quell Israel’s military operations on its neighbors, so far, reserving special criticism for US Representative Amos Hochstein.
    “Netanyahu doesn’t care about him. He dismisses any effort, although minimal, of the US administration, to try to appease a little bit, to try to cool it down,” Jumblatt commented, while also expressing skepticism about the effectiveness of the UN in moderating Israeli actions.

    He didn't answer the most important question: Is Lebanon a failed political experiment?
    The answer is yes. The idea of a multinational state seems to have been a mistake. A smaller state with a clear Christian majority would have probably been better.

      I also love life and clean hearted people.
      It just seems that a state needs to have a monopoly on the use of force, and then actually protect their own people.
      I am genuinely sad for the people of Lebanon (and Gaza also by the way). It seems many really believe Hezbollah is protecting them but I don't see how this is true. It's very tragic and heart breaking.

      ​@@TheShacharZiv are there any other defending our south from IKhrahell? Please do mention here who and what can they do. Dont say this peace talks and that because in the end IKhrahell plays for their own and USA's benefit.
      If IKhrahell wasnt founded in the first place, none of this would habe happened.

      Just so you know, I am from Israel. I was born here, and so were my parents and both grandmothers.
      Maybe if Israel hadn't existed some things would be better for many people. For better or worse, it's here now.
      It seems the Lebanese army should be the one defending Lebanon, including the south. I realize I know very little about Lebanon but it seems very dangerous to count on a militia for a state's protection.

      Look , the only problem is he is unfitted for politic . He could even think raping and killing civilian is justified because of the occupation Israel is conducting for years but reality is doing that never helped winning a war in world's history . Attacking an enemy only to lose more isn't a defense tactic but an immoral act against Palestine's interests . Another symptom of his stupidity is believing Putin isn't helping them because of the war in Ukraine . Putin isn't helping because 1/5 of Israeli population is of Russian origin .

    Standard western perspective:
    We believe in a safe, secure Middle East, free of radical jihadist terrorism. The centerpiece of our vision is a strong, safe, secure Israel. Everything else should be built around that.

I am not lying to you nor deceiving you nor cheating you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced because of the war between me and my family over a rent dispute and the owner of the house. By God, my brother comes every day and humiliates us and talks about us and wants us to go out to the street because we are unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and talked to the neighbors again and gave us a deadline until the end of the week and we swore to God to let us out of the street now we are in arrears of 60 thousand Yemeni riyals for 3 months rent may God have mercy on us our country is suffering because of this war and we do not find our daily sustenance and we live my mother and sisters our father passed away may God have mercy on him and we do not have anyone in the world to come to us in these harsh circumstances my little sisters went out to the street and saw the neighbors eating and stood at their door giving them even a piece of bread and by God in whose hand is the heavens and the earth they closed the door and kicked them out and they came back crying dying of hunger no one has mercy on them and now the holiday has come back to me if no one of us helps us with a kilo of flour by God we will die of hunger brother I seek refuge in God and then in you and I want your help for the sake of God I ask you by God you love goodness and help me even if it is about the rent of the house send me a WhatsApp message on this number 00967717354582 and ask for my card name and send it and do not delay may God compensate you with all good My little sisters, look at their situation and help us and save us before they throw us out into the street and humiliate us or my family and I die of hunger.

    Jumblatt after all these years disappoints again. He failed to back president bashir jemeyal of lebanon on verge of a peace treaty with iarael but foiled by vice president poppy bush that put marines in beirut, not invited by lebanon nor israel on a mission to prevent lebanon israel peace. Israel forces pulled back in beirut as to not do so would be war between israel and america as american forces moved forward so israel pulled back qnd in midst of this lebanons president got assinated.
