Jumblatt: No regional de-escalation soon
Former Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblatt stated that he opposes the Framework Agreement because it does not include a 1949 ceasefire agreement, but he is willing to support it if it leads to the full liberation of Lebanese territories. Criticizing regional tensions, Jumblatt believed that there is no prospect of regional de-escalation and warned that Lebanon might face escalation, with the possibility of U.S. pressure on Israel. Domestically, he urged the government to handle the electricity issue with wisdom and to stabilize public sector salaries reasonably, drawing lessons from Syria's experience in addressing its electricity crisis. He also emphasized making Lebanon a transit point for Iraqi oil and capitalizing on investment opportunities in Syria.
