'Wahhab, Jumblatt & son Timur and Sheikh Al Sayegh ...'

In the Daily Star, here

".... The SSNP-PSP reconciliation was attended by Jumblatt’s son, Timur.

“I am not making this statement to please the Syrians after Syria’s withdrawal from Lebanon but based on deep political convictions,” Jumblatt said......

Jumblatt also stressed the importance of abiding by the truce agreement with Israel and the rejection of normalization of ties as stated in the Taif Accord.

“The most important clause of the Taif Accord is that we agreed to a truce with Israel meaning a frozen war,” Jumblatt said, adding that “only [someone who is] delusional or a conspirer would believe in reaching a settlement with Israel.”

Jumblatt added that his party, side by side with the SSNP, managed to abolish all attempts to tie Lebanon to the Israeli-Western axis. For his part, Hardane underlined the importance of preserving Mount Lebanon unity as the corner stone of the country’s unity.

“The SSNP would pursue its struggle to establish a united nonsectarian state based on the national principles supported by President Michel Sleiman,” Hardane said."
