| Jumblat Rejects 'Silly' Calls for Hariri's Resignation |
| 2010-10-11 |
| [An Nahar] Druze leader Walid Jumblat on Sunday rejected "silly" calls for the resignation of Prime Minister Saad Hariri. This was a clear response to Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc MP Nohad al-Mashnouq who called on Hariri to resign because he believed the Syrian arrest warrants were an "attack" against the dignity of the premier. Mashnouq urged Hariri to form a new government based on an understanding on major issues. "We want him to remain Prime Minister of entire Leb to address the problems of the country as a whole, like false witnesses etc," Jumblat said during a tour of the mountains. He said false witnesses is a "political-judicial issue that could be dealt with by judicial authorities and politically with Syrian President Bashar Assad if there were good intentions." |
