Jumblat blasts Lebanon negotiators, Aoun and Salam for 'ignoring' Armistice Agreement
Former Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat called again Monday on Lebanon to return to the 1949 Lebanese–Israeli Armistice Agreement, describing it as a "cornerstone" of the relations between Lebanon and Israel.
"It is an integral part of the Taif Agreement. It was mentioned in the presidential oath and reaffirmed by the ministerial statement," Jumblat posted on the X platform, as he lashed out at Lebanese negotiators and the Lebanese President and Prime Minister, accusing them of "overlooking — if not completely deleting — it."
"The senior negotiators, along with the elite advisors in Baabda and the group of specialists in the Serail, saw fit to overlook it," he said.
Jumnlat on Saturday criticized a trilateral framework agreement between Lebanon, Israel and the United States, saying it completely ignored the Armistice Agreement.
