Jumblat slams 'inexperienced' and 'power-hungry' officials who agreed Israel deal

Druze leader Walid Jumblat on Tuesday stated that "the framework agreement is a unilateral agreement imposed by Israel on a Lebanese faction, inside and outside the country, that has limited experience in law and diplomacy," emphasizing that peace with Israel is impossible.

During a speech at a meeting of the Druze Religious Council, he explained that "this treaty is a 'dictation,' and it makes no mention of an Israeli withdrawal."

"This is what happens when the fate of the country is entrusted to groups with no experience in international politics and whose only concern is power," Jumblat lamented.

Separately, he called on the state, "if it has the resources, to prepare new shelters in the south, even though they have rejected this proposal and continue to do so."
