Head of National Struggle Front MP Walid Jumblatt confirmed that the campaign led by the March 14 camp against the resistance weapons will achieve nothing, and has no horizon.
Jumblatt added, "PM [Saad] Hariri and others should know that this weapon is a protection for the people of the South", strictly rejecting what Lebanese Forces' Samir Jaejae said that "This weapon encourages "Israel" to start an aggression against Lebanon".

Commenting on the aforementioned, Jumblatt affirmed in an interview with An-Nahar daily, that "Israel" does not need excuses to implement aggressions and threats targeting the Lebanese, especially the people of the South.
MP Jumblatt stated, "It ["Israel"] continues to daily violate resolution 1701, and till now it has not withdrew from the Ghajar".

Furthermore, MP Walid Jumblatt reiterated his stances refusing weapons exploitation inside the country saying "Its importance lies in resisting "Israel". Jumblatt reminded he had already proposed an overall project to gradually include the resistance within the military institution [Lebanese Army].

On another hand, Head of National Struggle Front expressed concerns regarding the returned political and media debates between Caretaker PM Saad Hariri and Hizbullah, fearing an increase in the debate rate between the two sides.

In the same context, MP Jumblatt affirmed that in his latest call with PM Hariri, he asked the latter to reopen dialogue canals with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri and the Hizbullah leadership, and not to refer to freeze relations with the Shiite sect.
He also hoped that Hizbullah, from a friendly position, would stop debating with Hariri "because at the end, there should be a return to the dialogue table".

Jumblatt referred to that despite Hariri's relations with Saudi Arabia, he hopes he would stop debates to ease tension, calling for quitting verbal disputes and abandoning "our history's black pages", in reference to the Wikileaks scandals.
