Walid Jumblatt says Progressive Socialist Party handed over its weapons, urges others to follow

Former Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblatt revealed that the party’s weapons had been centrally collected and handed over to the state three weeks ago.

Speaking at a press conference, Jumblatt called on all parties to hand over their weapons to the state in an appropriate manner.

“A new chapter has opened in the Middle East,” he said. “If there is any Lebanese or non-Lebanese party that still possesses weapons, I hope they will hand them over to the state properly. The most useful weapon for future generations is the weapon of memory.”

Jumblatt stressed the importance of remembering the heroism of past generations in resisting Israel, warning that normalization efforts could rewrite history and erase those sacrifices.

“In the current round, Israel and the West—backed by the United States—have emerged victorious,” he added.
