Jumbelet Opposes Minority Protections in Israel's Lebanon and Syria Plans
President Walid Jumblatt emphasized that the Arab and Islamic world were unified against colonial powers during the Ottoman Empire era. He noted that Ankara is currently pursuing a cautious defensive policy, warning of a possible confrontation with Israel, which in the long term will seek to attack by all means available. He strongly rejected the concept of "protecting minorities," as it reminds him of Israeli policies that use minorities, especially the Druze, to dismantle Syria and Lebanon. Jumblatt also affirmed that Lebanon needs Turkey as a friendly country that supports and builds economic relations with it. He considered the Israeli redeployment agreement in southern Lebanon to be a major trap that does not guarantee full withdrawal.
