Content
Everyone is responsible for upholding the agreements that were made, and the state must ensure security and stability.
…can only begin through dialogue, partnership, unity, and equality among the country's components. English translation
[Source is English (L'Orient Today, reporting his X-post statement on the deadly clashes involving Syria's Druze; this is L'Orient's English rendering — he may have posted in Arabic); tier-2, confirmed verbatim against the fetched page (apostrophe glyphs normalized). The second quote is a FRAGMENT of his sentence on the REBUILDING OF SYRIA (signalled with a leading ellipsis). Both quotes are clearly attributed to Taymour Joumblatt — NOT the other figures quoted in the same article (Sheikh Akl Sami Abi al-Mona and PM Nawaf Salam).] Declared position of Taymour (Taymur) Joumblatt — head of Lebanon's Progressive Socialist Party (PSP) since 2023 and a Member of Parliament, son and political heir of veteran Druze leader Walid Joumblatt. Responding to the May 2025 sectarian violence against Syria's Druze in Jaramana and Jabal al-Arab (Suwayda) — clashes between Druze fighters and the new Syrian regime's forces that killed over 100 — he condemned the "unacceptable bloodbath," demanded an end to "all forms of violence and aggression," and extended condolences to "the martyrs of Jaramana and Jabal al-Arab." His vision: the STATE must ensure security and stability (protect minorities), agreements must be honored, and Syria's rebuilding "can only begin through dialogue, partnership, unity, and equality among the country's components" — an INCLUSIVE, anti-sectarian, equal-citizenship Syria that protects the Druze through integration into a unified state rather than separatism or foreign (Israeli) "protection." This is the LEBANESE DRUZE NEXT-GENERATION / INCLUSIVE-COEXISTENCE pole — communal protection sought via an equal, dialogic, unified Syria, distinct in moment and voice from his father Walid (the elder pragmatist) and set against both sectarian violence and Israel's fragmentation framing. [Axes: sectarianism / minority-protection (the state must protect all components; equality among components; anti-sectarian), Syria / foreign-alignment (unified inclusive Syria; against fragmentation and Israeli "protection" of the Druze), governance (state responsibility for security; honoring agreements; dialogue/partnership), communal-identity (Druze solidarity across Lebanon-Syria).]
