In an exclusive response via 'Warda,' a senior source in the Palestine Liberation Organization addresses comments made by former MP Walid Jumblatt:
- The State of Palestine engages with Lebanon on a state-to-state basis and through official institutions.
- The situation concerning former Palestinian ambassador Ashraf Dabbour is an internal Palestinian matter. His detainment was requested by the Palestinian Public Prosecutor, as he is a Palestinian citizen who committed an offense while performing his official duties.
- Mr. Walid Jumblatt's remarks do more harm to Lebanese institutions, the state, and the judiciary than to the State of Palestine. The Lebanese judiciary complied with the law and executed what was in the best interest of both countries, responding to the Palestinian judiciary's request through official channels, away from the political interests of any particular group.
