Discussion at Clémenceau
PSP leader Walid Joumblatt: “We had a friendly and frank meeting, we left aside the major differences and talked about points that can be dealt with jointly.”
Hezbullah's envoy Hussein Khalil said the talks reviewed “internal issues, including political, financial and social deadlines” (likely the IMF negotiations and the presidential election).
According to a column by Mounir Rabih, Joumblatt has signaled a rapprochement with Hezbullah: 3 days ago, he said to Jordanian channel Al-Mamlaka that in case of war, he stands by the resistance. He also “rejected neutrality”, distancing himself from Samir Geagea and the Maronite patriarch. Previously, he kept open the idea of choosing Marada leader Suleiman Frangieh as the next Lebanese president.
