Flexibility From Jumblat And Aoun

---

Various leaders are preparing the grounds for the compromise to come.

1- Druze leader Walid Jumblat told Assafir, an opposition newspaper, that the Lebanese would not accept implementing international resolutions “over Lebanese corpses”, a sign from Mr. Jumblat that March14 will be flexible with UNSCR 1559, the source of Hezbollah’s main  consternation. Mr. Jumblat had made a conciliatory phone call with Speaker Berri after a long period of lack of communication.

2- Tayyar.org is highlighting a piece that originally appeared in Al-Akhbar, in which FPM party officials said: (my translation) “The election of a President other than Aoun will not affect the Aounist phenomenon (?????? ???????) which has previously withstood October 13 politically and militarily. Besides, Aoun’s popularity survived in spite of him being completely removed from power for seventeen years“.
In other words, the Aounists are getting psychologically ready for a President other than their leader.
