"Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat received an advice to advance the date of his visit to Syria so that it precedes the visit of PM-designate Saad Hariri to Damascus after the cabinet's formation.

According to information circulated in tight circles, Jumblat is seriously studying the possibility of visiting Syria in a few days on the occasion of a ceremony held in Syria to commemorate Sultan Basha al-Atrash.

Naharnet also learned that the occasion will turn into a major popular ceremony where the Druze sect followers will participate largely in it.

The sources added that Jumblat's participation will regain his status as the first Druze leader after ex-Minister Wiam Wahab managed to penetrate the Syrian Druze community backed by the Syrian leadership due to the divergence between Jumblat and the Syrian officials in the previous period."
