The General Assembly of the Sectarian Council held an expanded meeting at the Druze sect’s house in Beirut, in the presence of Druze Sheikh, Dr. Sami Abi Al-Muna, former head of the Progressive Socialist Party, Walid Jumblatt, and a number of sheikhs and figures.

In the wake of the meeting, Jumblatt said in a statement: ‘We’ve met in this noble house and discussed various internal matters related to the Druze sect and the country. The session was useful, and sessions like this must be repeated.’

He added: “We’ve touched on the situation in Jabal al-Arab, and we’ve affirmed support for a peaceful movement whilst avoiding internal or non-internal conflicts.”
