Lebanese MP and key figure in the so called ruling majority mounted his attack against Syrian President Bashar Assad.

He called for killing President Assad.

In a funeral ceremony marking the death of his personal security chief Salman Seyour, Jumblatt seized the moment to call for killing the Syrian President and threatened him with killing for as long as it takes. MP Walid Jumblatt who was attending the ceremony along with other political representatives from his ruling bloc, was not settled with the speeches made on his behalf first by Issam Halabi and then by MP Wael Abu Faour. He decided to make a speech of his own and speak about betrayal and shower the Syrian president with insults before recalling Nawaf Ghazaleh, who killed former Syrian President Adib Shishakli. Jumblatt said: " I did not find the right words to bid you farewell, so I asked comrade Issam Halabi and comrade Wael Abu Faour to speak for me. But there is something that has to be said. At the time of betrayal you came and protected me and you later on protected my family from betrayal, and today I bid you farewell at the peak of the time of betrayal. The symbol of betrayal is one, the tyrant of Syria, the tyrant of the Syrian regime, him and his gang of cave people and others. But we will be steadfast and we will proceed forward on the path of independence. We tell them that this (boy) is repressing his people in Damascus and killing the liberals in Lebanon. He must be kicked out of Beirut, out of the southern suburb of Beirut, from Mount Lebanon, from the Sheikh Mountain, From Bekaa. He must be kicked out of Damascus, from the Mountain of Arabs from Aleppo. A (Nawaf) must emerge one day – signaling Nawaf Ghazaleh who killed former Syrian President Adib Shishakli – and if the international court proves futile, we are (Nawafs) and we are all (Salma Seyour) and we are all (Jamal Saab). No matter how long it take, one of us will emerge and take revenge for all the martyrs, starting from Kamal Jumblatt to Pierre Gemayel who I hope is the last."
