BEIRUT: MP Walid Jumblatt Monday criticized those seeking coordination between Lebanon and Syria over the Lebanese hostage crisis.
“It is strange these allegations that come from here and there about our positions on the issue of the kidnapped servicemen,” Jumblatt wrote in his weekly column for Al-Anbaa newspaper.
“Strange, too, how some are trying to portray our vision as if it stems from sectarian considerations, knowing that the [hostages] belong to various religions and sects.”
“Why give this national issue a sectarian tone?” he complained.
“Then again what is this heresy that calls for reactivating coordination between the Lebanese and Syrian armies? And for what goals and reasons?"
