Former head of the Progressive Socialist Party (PSP) Walid Joumblatt, on Thursday, praised the Qatari role – as part of the Quintet (United States, France, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Egypt) – “in unblocking the presidential elections in Lebanon,” to fill a seat “which had been vacant since October 31, 2022.”

Joumblatt, who is on a visit to Doha, was received by the Qatari Prince, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.

The situation in south Lebanon, the Gaza war and Doha’s mediation to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza, were addressed by Joumblatt who was accompanied by his wife Noura, MP Hadi Abou el-Hosn and Lebanese Ambassador to Qatar Farah Berri.
