Following the failure of ceasefire negotiations led by US envoy Amos Hochstein, former Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblatt emphasized the ongoing efforts to achieve this goal, revealing that "the war seems long."

Jumblatt discussed the continued efforts for a ceasefire in Lebanon, stating, "We will continue to work together in full consultation with all civil society organizations, deputies, and stakeholders to hold similar meetings." He emphasized that "we proposed some points" after leaders Nabih Berri and Najib Mikati were unable to secure a ceasefire following their talks with Hochstein, and he expressed that "Washington and Hochstein have let down Lebanon."

He further noted the necessity of being prepared to "provide the maximum level of services" to both displaced and resident Lebanese people, urging full cooperation with the state and security forces to mitigate any potential security issues.

Additionally, Jumblatt addressed the educational landscape in Lebanon amid the war and the occupancy of schools by displaced families, calling on Education Minister Abbas Halabi to "activate the in-person and mixed learning plans," and suggested the possibility of "renting private schools," as he was informed about the possibility of this option.

Regarding the health sector, Jumblatt confirmed that "hospitals and social centers are ready, and medicines are available," confirming, however, that "there are shortages that can be compensated."

He pointed out that "there should be effective committees in all areas and at all levels," affirming, "We are ready, along with the state and our local leaders, to meet the needs."

Head of Druze sect condemns Israeli aggression

"We condemn the Israeli aggression and stand in solidarity with the displaced," said Sheikh Sami Abi al-Muna, the head of the Druze sect, as he affirmed that "our decision is unifying in nature, neutralizing everything that divides, whether internally within the community or within the nation."

Abi al-Muna stated, "We condemn the Israeli aggression and stand in solidarity with the displaced," emphasizing that "we do not accept any security breaches and cooperate with the army and security forces to ensure stability," while also warning against "making use of property [for profit], whether lands or houses, during this period."

He also called on the international community and officials to "pressure for a ceasefire and to deploy the Lebanese army along the borders."
