Jumblat Urges Adherence to Res. 1701, Armistice Agreement

Walid Jumblat, the former leader of the Progressive Socialist Party, has expressed concern that Lebanon is now embroiled in a prolonged conflict with Israel. In a statement made on the social media platform X on Monday, Jumblat indicated that the hostilities between Lebanon and Israel could extend for several months or even longer.

Highlighting the recent surge in Israeli attacks on Lebanon, Jumblat suggested that the nation is facing a prolonged period of open warfare. As someone observing the situation, he advises taking measures to manage and possibly contain the conflict. He emphasizes the importance of adhering to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 and the 1949 armistice agreement as strategic steps to prevent further escalation into uncertainty.
