European Commission’s Vice President Josep Borrell arrived on Wednesday in Clemenceau to meet with former Progressive Socialist Party (PSP) leader Walid Joumblatt.
Following the meeting, Joumblatt remarked: “Borrell has distinguished himself within the European Union in response to the severe human rights violations in Gaza, alongside UNRWA General Commissioner Philippe Lazzarini and UN Chief António Guterres. We hope to see similar figures emerge in the Arab world or on the international stage.”
Sources present at the meeting informed local TV channel MTV that significant and intensive efforts are underway regarding Hezbollah’s acceptance of Resolution 1701. Borrell and Joumblatt discussed the need for full implementation of the resolution, highlighting ongoing international efforts to achieve this goal.
Borrell arrived Wednesday afternoon at Rafik Hariri International Airport in Beirut at the head of a delegation from the Commission.
