Former Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblatt reaffirmed his commitment to the statement issued during the emergency meeting held at the Druze community headquarters, stressing the urgent need for a ceasefire in Sweida as a prerequisite to moving forward with the next stages.
Jumblatt emphasized that a comprehensive political solution is the only path to preserve the authority of the Syrian state and to address the legitimate demands of the people of Jabal al-Arab.
The former MP also called for the launch of an inclusive dialogue between all religious, political, and sectarian components under the sponsorship of the state.
The Druze leader condemned any calls for international or Israeli protection, considering such proposals a violation of Syrian sovereignty and an insult to Sweida’s national and Arab identity.
Jumblatt urged an end to the escalation, the lifting of the siege on affected areas, and serious efforts to avoid further deterioration.
He concluded by affirming that Syria’s Druze are an integral part of the Arab and Syrian national fabric, and should not be treated as a separate entity from their natural environment.
