Jumblat urges 'settlement' to protect Lebanon from open-ended war

Druze leader Walid Jumblat has warned that current war between Israel and the Palestinians “will not end,” calling for a “settlement” in Lebanon to protect the country.

“According to all expectations, it seems that the war will not end and that we are only at its beginning,” Jumblat said in an X post.

“It also seems that the Zionist project will not stop at the attempt to eradicate Gaza, but will also continue in the West Bank in continuation of the Balfour Declaration and the biblical vision,” Jumblat added.

“That’s why protecting Jordan is a necessity … while in Lebanon a settlement would be the solution,” Jumblat went on to say.
