Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nabih Berri, received, at the headquarters of the Second Presidency in Ain al-Tineh, the former head of the Progressive Socialist Party, Walid Jumblatt, in the presence of former Minister Ghazi Al-Aridi. During the meeting, the latest developments in the situation in Lebanon and the political and field developments were presented in light of Israel's escalation of its aggression against Lebanon and the south, in addition to the file of the displaced. After the meeting, Jumblatt said: “Apart from the major analyzes of the so-called strategic experts, analysts, etc., the first concern, or even the main concern, is internal unity, whether peace or war, and the fact that matters to reach a ceasefire may be somewhat distant, or very distant, my first understanding, and the concern of President Berri, and the concern of all Lebanese, I believe, is improving shelter conditions and establishing a dignified and decent life for our people in the south and harnessing the capabilities of the state and the international community or donor bodies from the international community.” He added: "Patience and patience. We have gone through difficult things and stages in the past. In my opinion, we will get through this ordeal, even if it is long."
