It's Walid Jumblatt once again...

Jumblatt Jumps from Calm to Assault in a Few Hours!

The head of the Democratic Gathering delivers a statement on Sunday night calling for calm and serenity in the internal scene.

However, Jumblatt, himself, decided not to comply with his own call!

Indeed, only a few hours on his "positive" call, Jumblatt delivers another call in which he launches a vehement call on the head of the Reform and Change parliamentary bloc MP Michel Aoun over his visit to Iran.

In his weekly article to be published in the Progressive Socialist Party Al-Anbaa, Jumblatt called Aoun the "dean of surrender and losses," and accused him of seeking to increase the divisions among the people of Lebanon and torpedo efforts to implement the policy of positive neutrality through his visit to the Islamic Republic.

The PSP chief noted, on the other hand, that President Michel Suleiman's visit to Saudi Arabia aimed to strengthen the concept of positive neutrality.

Jumblatt's change of tone was not limited to the relation with Aoun, but was also addressed towards the relation with Syria after weeks of remarkable "rest" at this field.

He said that the Syrian deployment along the northern borders was intended to frighten the people of Lebanon, and influence the 2009 parliamentary elections.

Jumblatt questioned how indirect negotiations between Syria and the Zionist entity would affect Syria's support of Hizbullah, claiming that Syria was trying to achieve its goals without reconsidering its alliances in Lebanon.
